Bold, Responsive, Interlinked—We Take Action to Save Lives
For more than 20 years, RHSC’s trusted network of 580+ members has worked to get lifesaving reproductive health supplies to those who need them. No single agency can do what we accomplish collectively as a uniquely powerful global force.
What RHSC Makes
Possible
Our movement advances new supply solutions designed
to reach the more than 1.6 billion women of reproductive
age living in low-resource settings around the world.
RHSC strengthens supply chains by bringing members and partners together to improve data visibility, align priorities, coordinate action, support product introduction into new markets, and develop the supply chain leaders of tomorrow.
No single agency or donor can ever meet the supply challenges alone. RHSC brings together voices from across the reproductive health ecosystem through a coordinated, evidence-based approach. Our members trust us to lead global collective action.
RHSC members leave their logos and egos at the door. We offer the only neutral space that brings partners together across all sectors and regions—including manufacturers and procurers—to improve the reproductive health supplies market.
We mobilize the world’s foremost experts to tackle the biggest supply challenges of our time. Through RHSC, members share knowledge and innovative ideas on a range of vital topics, including fostering advocacy and accountability, shaping markets, and promoting new and underused technologies.
We are the only partnership ready to respond to emerging supply challenges in real time. Thanks to the generosity of a diverse range of funders, we can tackle supply issues with boldness and flexibility, delivering solutions beyond the remit of any individual donor.
Collective Impact at a Glance
RHSC brings partners together to transform SRH supplies access—aligning priorities, sharing expertise, and turning collaboration into real impact.
Contraceptive Supplies
Each year, nearly half of all pregnancies in LMICs are unintended. RHSC expands access to contraceptive supplies, not only saving lives and enabling choice, but also resulting in significant cost savings.
Maternal Health Supplies
Globally, about 712 women die daily from pregnancy or childbirth complications. RHSC advances access to lifesaving maternal health products to make pregnancy and childbirth safer.
Menstrual Health Supplies
Across LMICs, 688 million people who menstruate lack access to menstrual products, impacting their health, confidence, education opportunities, economic participation, and dignity. RHSC accelerates access to menstrual products and transforms systems to deliver them.
Safe Abortion Supplies
Each year, 34 million women living in LMICs have unsafe abortions, sometimes resulting in long-term disability and even death. Millions more cannot access safe abortion. RHSC accelerates access to safe abortion supplies, enabling lifesaving abortion and postabortion care.
