Our History

The MSI Reproductive Choices global partnership is built on the views of our founders Tim Black CBE, Jean Black and Phil Harvey, who believed that by providing high-quality, client-centred care they could support women to pursue the future of their choice – on their terms.  Since 1976, we have delivered sexual and reproductive healthcare services to over 183 million women. 

We currently see over 28,000 clients daily, and over 35 million people worldwide use a method of contraception provided by us. Last year, our global services prevented 14.6 million unintended pregnancies, 7.2 million unsafe abortions and 42,600 maternal deaths. But our work is far from over.   

We have been working in partnership with Australian-based donors to ensure access to quality, equitable sexual and reproductive health services in the Asia-Pacific region for over two decades.

In 2021, we changed our name to MSI Asia Pacific – a new name to represent the region where we are based and in line with MSI Reproductive Choices global partnership.
