Who we are

PSI is a network of locally rooted, globally connected organizations working to achieve consumer-powered healthcare โ€” people-centered health systems that ensure quality, affordable care wherever and whenever it is needed. Our origins in sexual and reproductive health have grown into a broader mission. Today, we work with the public and private sectors as well as local communities, prioritizing peopleโ€™s voice and choice and developing solutions to meet their essential health needs. Over the past five decades, we have helped push boundaries, break taboos, set trends, and develop innovative solutions to complex global health challenges.

The DHM department supports the organizationโ€™s innovation function and at the same time ensures that program teams are equipped with quality data to support their decision-making process.
