Obstetrician and Gynaecologist - MSI Reproductive Choices

ABOUT MSI GHANA & THE ROLE

MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world's leading providers of sexual and reproductive healthcare. We believe that everyone should have the right to choose. From contraception to safe abortion and life-saving post-abortion care, we are committed to delivering compassionate, affordable, high-quality services for all.

Today, our organisation has over 9,000 team members working in 37 countries across the world. Our success lies in the fact that MSI teams are locally led, entrepreneurial and results-driven, and are passionate about delivering high quality, client-centred care in their own communities. As a social business, we focus on sustainable delivery, efficiency, and funding models that are built to last, so that the women and girls we serve today will have a choice in the future too.

We know that access to reproductive choice is life changing. For some, it can mean the ability to complete education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after the family they already have. For everyone, it means the freedom to decide their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world. MSI Reproductive Choices Ghana (MSI Ghana) is a results-oriented, commercial enterprise and one of Ghana's leading sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) organisations.

We deliver high-quality, client-centred reproductive health and safe motherhood services including, but not limited to, family planning/contraception, pregnancy counselling, STI screening and fertility/infertility counselling, through three service channels: Centres (Pillar 2), Social Marketing (Pillar 3), and Public Sector Support (Pillar 1). MSI Ghana is an affiliate of the global MSI Reproductive Choices partnership.
