PSI is a global nonprofit organization working to expand access to quality healthcare and strengthen health systems in over 40 countries. Founded in 1970, PSI operates through a globally connected, locally led network of organizations headquartered in Washington, D.C., Nairobi, and Amsterdam.

For over five decades, PSI has worked hand-in-hand with governments, communities, and the private sector to make health systems more responsive, equitable, and sustainable. Our mission is rooted in the belief that all people—regardless of geography or income—deserve the tools, services, and information they need to lead healthy lives.
