MSPNG works to improve the health and quality of life of PNG women, men and their families.

We work with local partners and the Government to provide quality, affordable and accessible family planning services.

27/11/2025

On Day 4 of the 16 Days of Activism, we focus on empowering women through knowledge and choice, specifically regarding Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) like Implants and IUDs. This is about more than just health; it's about economic empowerment and safety.

When a woman has the power to choose when and if to have children, she gains stability, independence, and a greater ability to complete her education, pursue a career, and plan her future. This stability, in turn, makes her less financially dependent and less vulnerable to abuse and exploitation.

Don't let myths prevent you from accessing the most effective forms of family planning! We want to replace fear with facts. LARC methods are safe, highly effective and affordable. They are a secure and discreet way to plan your future on your terms.

Visit your nearest Marie Stopes PNG service delivery site to speak to a trained professional and learn how comprehensive family planning is key to your health, safety, and economic empowerment. 🧡💙

On Day 3 of the 16 Days of Activism, our message is one of immediate support and compassionate care for survivors of s*xual violence.

In the aftermath of s*xual assault, immediate, specialized care is vital. Our service delivery sites are safe havens, providing non-judgmental services focused entirely on your health and safety. These immediate steps include offering Emergency Contraception (EC) to prevent unintended pregnancy, as well as testing and treatment for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

Every service we provide is delivered with absolute confidentiality and in a trauma-informed manner. You do not have to face this alone, and you will not be judged. Your health, your dignity, and your privacy are our highest priority. The journey to healing begins with compassionate care.

If you or someone you know has experienced s*xual violence, please do not delay in seeking help. 🧡💙

Violence against women is never just physical, but it is often tied to controlling a woman's entire life, including her reproductive health. On Day 2 of the 16 Days of Activism, we shed light on Reproductive Coercion, where partners may intentionally interfere with contraception, threaten violence for using family planning, or refuse to withdraw during s*x, which are actions that lead to unintended pregnancies and further isolate women.

For a woman facing violence, having control over her reproductive timeline is a critical safety and life-planning tool. When you decide when and if to have a child, you regain a fundamental piece of your autonomy and can better plan for your safety and the stability of your family. Our service delivery sites are confidential and non-judgmental spaces where you can explore a full range of contraceptive methods, from implants and IUDs to pills and injections. This choice is your right. It is a choice for safety, for health, and for your future.

Come speak to our compassionate health workers today. We offer confidential counseling and services that empower you to take back control of your body and your life. 🧡💙

24/11/2025

Today marks the start of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, and it is also the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. This is more than a campaign. It's a global call to action to end the pandemic of violence that affects millions of women worldwide.

At the heart of a life free from violence is bodily autonomy, which is the right for every woman to make decisions about her own body, health, and future without coercion or fear. Violence against women is a profound human rights violation, and we must all stand together to eliminate it. We believe a woman's control over her health and reproductive life is the most fundamental step toward a safe and equitable life.

If you or someone you know is experiencing violence and needs confidential, non-judgmental support, please know that help is available and you can contact us immediately. Your safety and well-being are our priority. You are not alone. 🧡💙

Happy World Vasectomy Day 2025! 🌏💙

This November, as we recognize Men’s Health Month, we are shining a spotlight on a crucial part of men's wellness that often goes unspoken: Reproductive Health.

World Vasectomy Day isn't just about a medical procedure; it is a movement about partnership, love, and shared responsibility. For too long, family planning has been viewed as solely a woman's duty. It’s time to change the narrative.

Why talk about it now? Because taking care of your health means taking charge of your future. A vasectomy is one of the safest, most effective acts of love a man can offer his partner and his family. It is the ultimate way to "step up" and share the mental and physical load of contraception.

This Men's Health Month, let’s break the stigma. Real strength lies in making informed choices for yourself and your family.

Your Body. Your Choice. Your Future.

🔔 Myth-Busting of the Week 📣

Myth: "A Vasectomy will change how I feel as a man" 😥

Fact: No! A vasectomy will not have any effect on your s*x drive, your voice, or how you feel as a man. It is crucial to distinguish that a vasectomy is a mechanical procedure, not a hormonal one. The minimally invasive procedure simply interrupts the tubes (vas deferens) that transport s***m, but it leaves the testicles themselves completely intact and fully functional. Because your testicles continue to produce testosterone at the exact same levels as before, your "masculinity" remains 100% unchanged. This includes your libido, ability to maintain an er****on, muscle mass, facial hair growth, and vocal pitch. You will even continue to ej*****te approximately the same amount of fluid, but the only difference is that the semen will no longer contain any s***m.

FAQ: "What is Prostate Cancer?" 🤔

Answer: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, occurring when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in the prostate gland, a small, walnut-shaped gland that sits below the bladder and is part of the male reproductive system. While it often grows very slowly and may cause no symptoms initially, some forms can be aggressive and spread to other parts of the body. Because age and family history are major risk factors, screening and early detection through conversations with your doctor are crucial for the best possible outcomes. Know your risk and prioritize your health!

🤝 Strengthening Community Partnerships for Male Family Planning in Central Province 💙❤️💙

Marie Stopes PNG (MSPNG) is strengthening community partnerships for male family planning in Central Province through a new collaboration with Native Link, a local NGO dedicated to community development. The organizations held an inception meeting to explore collaboration opportunities for MSPNG's upcoming vasectomy outreach initiative in Central Province. This initiative is part of a broader, five-year project nationwide to increase access to and uptake of non-scalpel vasectomy (NSV) services. The project aims to normalize male participation in family planning, reduce the burden of contraception on women, and promote vasectomy as a safe, permanent, and cost-effective contraceptive option.

Native Link's strong grassroots presence and proven track record in mobilizing communities, particularly around youth development, health, education, climate change, and GEDSI (Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion), which make them a strategic partner. Their community networks provide a crucial entry point for engaging men in conversations about reproductive health and shared family planning responsibilities. Through this partnership, Native Link will support community mobilization and awareness around vasectomy and male reproductive health, and the identification and engagement of Vasectomy Champions to lead peer education. They will also ensure inclusive outreach by integrating GEDSI principles to reach marginalized groups.

While MSPNG has successfully delivered thousands of NSV procedures nationwide, internal data indicates that the uptake of this service in Central Province specifically has room for significant growth. This new collaboration with Native Link is key to improving participation and increasing access in the province. By leveraging Native Link's strong community ties and advocacy platforms, the partnership is designed to increase awareness and reduce stigma associated with vasectomy, build trust through local leadership from Vasectomy Champions, and ensure inclusive outreach to all segments of the community in Central Province. This collaboration marks a promising step toward inclusive, community-led health solutions that empower men to take active roles in family planning and contribute to healthier, more equitable futures for Central Province families.

MSPNG Renews Partnership with Central PHA to Expand Family Planning Coverage 💙❤️💙

Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea – 5 November 2025

Marie Stopes Papua New Guinea (MSPNG) and the Central Provincial Health Authority (CPHA) have renewed their partnership through the signing of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and Service Level Agreement (SLA) to strengthen and expand access to family planning and s*xual and reproductive health (SRH) services across Central Province.

The signing ceremony, held at the CPHA office at 5 Mile, marked a continued commitment between both organisations to improve reproductive health outcomes and ensure that women, men, and young people in Central Province have access to quality and affordable family planning services.

Present at the signing were senior executives from both organisations, including CPHA Chief Executive Officer Dr. James Amini, who also serves as the President of the PNG Paediatric Society, and MSPNG Country Director Ms. Angelyn Famudi.

In his remarks, Dr. Amini emphasised the importance of family planning in improving the health and wellbeing of families and communities. He noted that recent national census data highlights the need for proactive population and health planning, adding that a growing population places increasing pressure on service delivery systems. Dr. Amini expressed his appreciation to MSPNG, civil society partners, and development agencies for their continued support in delivering essential health services across the province.

Ms. Famudi, speaking on behalf of MSPNG, commended the Government’s renewed prioritisation of family planning under the Marape–Rosso Government’s Reset@50
20 Year Roadmap development strategy, which identifies family planning as one of its major “Big Bets” for national development. She highlighted that recognising family planning as a key development investment is crucial to improving health and development outcomes.

MSPNG Operations Director, Mr. Jeffrey Nehi, highlighted the longstanding collaboration between MSPNG and CPHA, reaffirming the organisation’s commitment to supporting the province in delivering comprehensive family planning and SRH services. “Our partnership with CPHA is built on mutual trust and a shared vision, to ensure that no woman or family in Central Province is left behind in accessing the care they need,” Mr. Nehi said.

Ms. Famudi also acknowledged the ongoing support of the Australian Government through the PNGAus Partnership, whose funding has enabled MSPNG to continue delivering life-changing health services in communities throughout Central Province.

Non - Scalpel Vasectomy 💙

A Vasectomy is a safe, simple, and effective procedure for men who have decided not to have any more children. It is a permanent contraceptive method of family planning. It enables couples to pursue their desired family size so they can provide the best care for their children. During the procedure, a trained and skilled provider gently closes the tubes (vas deferens) that carry s***m. Meaning a man will continue to ej*****te, however without s***m present in the seminal fluid.
