Measurable Results

Measuring the results of PSI’s health interventions isn’t as simple as counting the number of products sold or distributed. PSI employs an entire team of researchers to continuously evaluate PSI performance against evidence-based objectives and verifiable indicators. Such strict measurement of PSI performance is what sets the organization apart from others in the field and feeds into the design of innovative, targeted and cost-effective interventions.

In 2010, PSI averted 17.1 million DALYs. This impact was achieved by efforts in each health area to prevent new cases of disease from occurring and from preventing death due to disease.

  • PSI’s work in malaria prevented nearly 40 million episodes of malaria and roughly 310,000 malaria deaths.
  • PSI’s work in diarrheal disease and child survival prevented 6.7 million cases of diarrhea and 11,000 diarrhea deaths.
  • PSI’s work in reproductive health prevented more than four million unintended pregnancies and 20, 000 maternal deaths.
  • PSI’s work in HIV prevented roughly 177,000 HIV infections.
