Who we are
Population Services International (PSI) is a global health and development organization working in more than 50 countries to make quality, affordable health care accessible to people where and when they need it. Out of the 7 billion people on the planet, 3.5 billion do not have access to quality essential healthcare. This inequity must change. PSI believes that health equity can only be achieved by drawing on the power of the public and private sectors and putting more control in consumers’ hands, and giving them quality affordable health care where and when they need it. PSI works with consumers, at the community level, to understand what they want and need in health resources. We then leverage our global network of 8,000 experts and our partnership in the public and private sector to fill in gaps in the markets. Join PSI’s efforts to make quality affordable health care accessible to people where and when they need it.
