Improving Reproductive Health Choices and Services

Family Health International, one of America's largest nonprofit international biomedical research and technical assistance organizations, is committed to assisting the people of the developing world in planning for healthy families and improving their reproductive health. This includes assuring contraceptive safety, preventing the spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases, improving maternal care, and facilitating access to quality reproductive health services. FHI also works to close gaps in service delivery and bring the best evidence to bear on health programs and policies.
