Social marketing
We promote and market our Marie Stopes Tanzania registered products across the country.
Bringing our registered products to Tanzania.
Our social marketing program distributes registered products through pharmacies, community-based distributors, public and private health providers.
Many of our clients live in settings where the health infrastructure is weak and there are simply not enough health workers.
We try to reach clients through a range of methods. We often integrate community-based distribution of products within our outreach and clinics. We also empower community members to provide information, and counseling for the uptake of our product services.
In 2013, Marie Stopes launched its first product, Misoclear (Misoprostol). And in 2022, Marie Stopes Tanzania launched its product Lifeguard Condom.
Our social marketing program particularly benefits both women and men who, for whatever reason, are unlikely ever to visit a professional healthcare provider. They can still access helpful information on our core products and services through social marketing.
