PSI distributes products and provides services that save lives and prevent disability across 69 countries, averting the loss of healthy life - averting DALYs. We maximize our impact by targeting health areas which account for 21% of the disease burden in countries where we work.

PSI uses these metrics to inform decisions by identifying communities in need and targeting high burden health areas. We also conduct robust research in order to better understand the places where we work and the people we serve.

PSI Impact Report: 2012

PSI focuses on serious challenges like a lack of family planning, HIV and AIDS, barriers to maternal health, and the greatest threats to children under five, including malaria, diarrhea, pneumonia and malnutrition helping people lead healthy lives.

PSI Impact Report: 2012

Analyzing markets: In the private sector, which dominates the antimalarial market in many sub-Saharan African countries, first-line malaria treatment (artemisinin-based combination therapy, or ACT) is less available and can be 5-24 times more expensive than less effective, non-ACTs.ii

1st-l i n e treat m e n t (AC Ts )

Identifying barriers: In Myanmar, the likelihood that a child with diarrhea will receive correct treatment (such as oral rehydration solution) depends on access to information, treatment, money and transportation. When treated at home without any consultation, only one in four children will receive appropriate treatment.iii

Community Case Management works7: In Cameroon, PSIs community case management interventions have increased the likelihood of children receiving appropriate treatment for malaria and diarrhea by a factor of nearly nine, while reducing disparities in access to care based on wealth.iv

n Nigeria, disproportionately high rates of HIV among men who have sex with men are due to high levels of unprotected sex, multiple sex partners, and low levels of HIV testing.v In response, PSIs network member, Society for Family Health (SFH), is leading a USAID-funded combination prevention program combating the epidemic through biomedical, behavioral and structural interventions.

Social marketing works: In Vietnam, PSIs social marketing campaigns are increasing HIV testing services among key populations, including female sex workers, their male clients, and people who inject drugs.vii PSI outreach works: Throughout Central America, the outreach efforts of PSIs network member, Pan American Social Marketing Association (PASMO), are significantly increasing condom use and HIV testing among men who have sex with men.vi

Demand creation works: Through outreach and expansion of accessible service delivery channels, PSI increased the use of long-acting reversible contraceptive methods within the context of informed choice. A recent study found that nearly one quarter of all intrauterine devices (IUDs) inserted across 13 countries during 2009 2010 went to new contraceptive users.viii

Reducing cost barriers: By providing vouchers directly to pregnant women in Pakistan, PSI increased the level at which the poorest women in Jhang province gave birth in a health facility by 50% during 2010.ix

PSI Impact Report: 2012

SI operates 27 social franchises across 26 countries. The Sun Network, comprised of Sun Quality Health (SQH) and Sun Primary Health (SPH), is a network of private providers supported by PSI/Myanmar which provides health products and services in six health areas: HIV/AIDS & STIs, malaria, tuberculosis, reproductive health, pneumonia, and diarrhea. Evidence shows that this network is improving access to high-quality products and services in low-income communities, elevating the quality of provider care, improving health outcomes, and strengthening the private health sector.

mya n ma r

In urban areas, 25% of all SQH TB patients are in the lowest wealth quintile, compared to 16% of TB patients in the national sample.x In 2012, the PSI Myanmar Sun Network contributed 23,900 TB treatments (16% of national TB treatments).

Clinics joining SQH increased family planning service provision by as much as 380%.xi

The SPH network is increasing the rate at which children receive optimal treatment for diarrhea using oral rehydration solution and zinc.xii

Th e R e s ult

PSI averted 35.2 million DALYs in 2012 by working at scale across 69 countries.

The evidence we generate through measurement informs programmatic decisions that help PSI maximize impact. We will further reduce the burden of disease and support Millennium Development Goals 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 by working with our partners to expand proven, cost-effective interventions - helping people lead healthy lives.

Interventions include: Diarrhea treatment kits, oral rehydration solution, water treatment tablets, and safe water solution, among others. 9.  Interventions include: Antiretroviral treatment for HIV, treatment kits for sexually transmitted infections, clean needles and syringes, doses of naloxone, and basic care packages, among others. 10.

Social franchising uses commercial franchising strategies to respond to the health needs of communities. It builds on the existing private sector infrastructure and strengthens the capacity of private clinics, pharmacies, and community providers to deliver quality services.
