Population Services International

Population Services International (PSI) is a global nonprofit health organization founded in 1970. Its mission is to improve health outcomes in developing countries by addressing critical public health challenges. Initially focused on reproductive health and family planning, PSI has expanded to include programs for HIV/AIDS prevention, malaria, safe water, nutrition, tuberculosis, and child health issues. PSI employs commercial marketing strategies to promote health products and services, selling many at subsidized prices to encourage participation from the commercial sector. The organization partners with local governments and organizations to create tailored health solutions, operating in 69 countries worldwide. PSI's key services include family planning, HIV/AIDS prevention, malaria treatment, and child health interventions. The organization rigorously measures its impact, reporting significant achievements in saving lives and preventing diseases. With over 8,900 staff globally, PSI focuses on making health products affordable and accessible to low-income and vulnerable populations. Its approach combines public and private sector resources to enhance health service delivery in the communities it serves.
