KARACHI: A Finland-funded project to address reproductive health needs of women in Karachi would soon be launched as the Finnish Roving Ambassador to Pakistan on Friday inked an agreement with a UK-based non-governmental organisation working on reproductive health in the country.

The agreement signed by Finnish Roving Ambassador Rauli Suikkanen and officials of the Marie Stopes Society, said the office of the roving ambassador of Finland to Pakistan would provide grant assistance to the society to establish and operate one clinical centre for two years under a project aimed at addressing unmet family planning needs of the urban women in Karachi.

Speakers at the event said that the project would cater to urban women’s unmet need for quality family planning and reproductive health services.
