Measurable Results

Measuring the results of PSI’s health interventions isn’t as simple as counting lives saved. 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 2009, PSI averted 15.1 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 nearly 267,000 malaria deaths.
  • PSI’s work in diarrheal disease and child survival prevented nearly 7.5 million cases of diarrhea and 11,300 diarrhea deaths.
  • PSI’s work in reproductive health prevented more than 3.5 million unintended pregnancies and 17, 500 maternal deaths.
  • PSI’s work in HIV prevented nearly 150,000 HIV infections.
