PSI

PSI is supporting ministries of health throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America to rapidly achieve high and sustained coverage of vulnerable populations. This is achieved through mass free net campaigns, routine health facility-based distributions and highly subsidized delivery through the private sector. To date, PSI has delivered more than 60 million insecticide-treated mosquito nets in more than 30 countries around the world.

In September 2006, PSI was involved in a coordinated partnership led by the Government of Rwanda that resulted in 1.3 million LLINs being delivered to every Rwandan child between 6 months and 5 years old during a week-long integrated child survival campaign. The delivery of LLINs during vaccination campaigns is a proven cost effective way to rapidly increase coverage of vulnerable groups.
