Like many in our global community, PSI has received termination notices for the vast majority of our U.S. government-funded programs\u2014programs that provide lifesaving health products and services to millions worldwide. This includes projects that had previously been approved to resume limited work under the U.S. President\u2019s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is difficult news. In 2024 alone, 21 U.S. government-funded projects enabled PSI and our local and community-level partners to reach an estimated 15 million people, addressing urgent health needs from malaria and HIV\/AIDS to contraception and safe sanitation. The abrupt loss of funding has forced us to halt many of these programs\u2014programs that were making a real difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But let us be clear: these actions will not derail our mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For 55 years, PSI has pioneered innovative health solutions\u2014strengthening markets, supporting health systems, and ensuring essential care reaches those who need it most. From powering social marketing for mosquito nets, contraception, and clean water to advancing today\u2019s latest digital, diagnostic, and device innovations, people have always been at the center of our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And they always will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, 4.5 billion people lack reliable, affordable healthcare. When health systems and health markets are disrupted, the ripple effects extend far beyond individuals\u2014threatening security, stability, and prosperity worldwide. Meeting this moment requires bold action, innovation, and partnership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cFor decades, PSI has been there for those who need us most. We\u2019re not stopping now,\u201d said Michael Holscher, PSI President. \u201cWe are mobilizing our global network to sustain support to governments and all our partners through our ongoing programs. We are making the hard decisions necessary to adapt our technical, programmatic, financial, and operational capacity to ensure life-saving care continues wherever possible\u2014while preparing for the challenges and opportunities ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ve never done this work alone. To our partners and supporters: thank you for standing with us in this critical moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Like many in our global community, PSI has received termination notices for the vast majority of our U.S. government-funded programs\u2014programs that provide lifesaving health products and services to millions worldwide.
