Contain This: The Latest in Global Health Security

Our guest this week is Ms Hang Nguyen, the Vietnam Country Director for MSI Reproductive Choices, formerly Marie Stopes International.

With almost 9000 staff working across 37 countries, MSI works to ensure that reproductive choice is possible through access to advice, contraception, and safe abortion.

Hang has held the position of Vietnam Country Director for MSI for 18 years. She has been recognised by the Ministry of Health and the international NGO community in Vietnam for her leadership of the most innovative and sustainable foreign NGO in Vietnam.

In this episode we discuss:

• Hang’s work with MSI over the past 18 years.
• The global challenges in satisfying unmet demand for sexual and reproductive health services.
• The specific challenges that women face in accessing sexual and reproductive health services in Vietnam.
• How MSI works in partnership with public and private health service providers, international development organisations, and businesses to expand the availability of essential services and advance women's sexual and reproductive health and rights in Vietnam.
