BACKGROUND
OF BAPSA
The alarming situation due to the high
rate of maternal mortality caused by unwanted pregnancies
and septic abortion coupled with inadequate reproductive health
care services to address them ultimately led a group of reputed
medical practitioners and social workers to establish the
Bangladesh Association for Prevention of Septic Abortion (BAPSA)
in early 1982, under the leadership of a person no less than
late Prof. Syeda Firoza Begum, a renowned Bangladeshi Gynaecologist
of national and international repute. Essentially, non-governmental
in nature, BAPSA is a non-political, non-profit and private
social welfare organization, and its membership includes reputed
persons from all over the country.
