Malaria:
Each year 350-500 million cases of malaria lead to more than one million deaths, mostly of African children. To prevent malaria, PSI uses targeted subsidies to make insecticide-treated mosquito nets and long-lasting insecticidal nets available to malaria risk groups (especially pregnant women and children under five) through public and private channels in endemic countries. To treat malaria, PSI uses social marketing to make pre-packaged therapy widely available and affordable through commercial outlets. PSI estimates that in 2007, these products directly prevented 19 million episodes of malaria, saving more than 140,000 lives.

Reproductive Health:
Every year there are 66 million unintended pregnancies and more than 500,000 deaths from pregnancy-related causes. PSI provides the information and tools necessary for couples to space the births of their children, improving the health of the entire family. In 2007, increased knowledge and access to a range of contraceptive methods is estimated to have averted 2.6 million unintended pregnancies and 13,000 maternal deaths due to complications related to pregnancy and child birth. Additionally, PSI markets clean delivery kits and multivitamins with iron and folic acid to women of reproductive age in several countries.

Water/Child Survival:
Every day 5,000 children die from diarrheal diseases caused mainly by drinking contaminated water. To prevent these diseases, PSI uses social marketing to distribute safe water products that allow families to treat their water at home. To treat dehydration caused by diarrhea, PSI markets oral rehydration salts. These products, in combination with educational communication campaigns, enabled PSI to avert an estimated 3.8 million cases of diarrhea in 2007. PSI also markets nutritional supplements, such as Sprinkles flakes which are mixed into children’s porridge or milk to prevent iron deficiency that can lead to impairment of cognitive growth.

HIV:
Millions of people each year become infected with HIV. To reduce the number of infections, PSI uses a balanced and targeted approach including the promotion of abstinence, mutual fidelity and correct and consistent condom use. PSI also implements voluntary counseling and testing alongside a variety of educational and behavior change communication campaigns that discourage harmful cultural norms such as unprotected sex, cross-generational sex and stigma and prejudice against people living with HIV. In 2007, PSI products and services are estimated to have prevented more than 156,000 HIV infections.

Tuberculosis:
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, especially in Africa and Asia. TB disease is both curable and preventable. It is one of the biggest killers of women of reproductive age and the most common cause of death among people living with HIV. According to the 2008 Global Tuberculosis Report (WHO), 9.2 million active new cases and 1.7 deaths from TB occurred in 2006. There has also been a significant increase in multi-drug resistant (MDR) TB cases and extremely drug resistant (XDR) cases, particularly in Eastern Europe, China, India and South Africa. Globally, it is estimated that at least 5% of all new TB cases are MDR. PSI provides a variety of TB and TB/HIV related services including: engaging private providers in TB diagnosis and treatment; integrating HIV counseling and testing and TB services; and innovative behavior change communication campaigns to increase awareness and positive health seeking behavior for TB and TB/HIV. PSI is currently implementing TB and TB/HIV activities in Myanmar, Pakistan, India, Zimbabwe, Zambia and South Africa.
