Malaria interventions are a critical entry point for strengthening health systems through public, private, and community networks at each level.
We work closely with governments and other key stakeholders and strategic partners to transform health systems by tackling the root causes preventing people and their communities from achieving and maintaining good, quality, and affordable health.
PSI supports national malaria control and elimination programs (NMPs) across 25 countries to deliver next-generation malaria vector control and innovative chemoprevention interventions, move quality malaria care closer to patients and caregivers, and create response-driven surveillance systems.
We extend coverage of quality, accessible and affordable malaria care to communities, including cost-effective solutions like perennial malaria chemoprevention to prevent malaria in young children in areas of high transmission during their most vulnerable years.
We engage health system actors, patients, and caregivers at each level to gather data and generate valuable insights into the availability of, need for, and use of essential health services systematically and continuously.
We develop digital tools that improve service delivery – from bed net distribution and chemoprevention campaigns to channel-appropriate trainings for health worker capacity, and apps that facilitate access to information and provider decision making for malaria case management.
We support government-led public health emergency operations centers (PHEOCs) to improve their capacity to monitor, prepare for, and respond to disease outbreaks and other emerging health challenges that could strain health systems and spill over to other regions.
Explore how the Unitaid-funded, PSI led Plus Project supports the use of Perennial Malaria Chemoprevention (PMC) alongside routine vaccinations and vitamin A supplementation visits for children under two.
Working alongside Ministries of Health in four implementing countries, the Unitaid Plus Project has supported the administration of more than 1 million doses of pediatric SP through PMC and is working with each government to introduce the malaria vaccine into the existing health system.
PSI views our malaria work as an important foundation to overall health system investment – that is, to permanently transform health systems to provide quality healthcare to those that need it most by strengthening public, private, and community networks at each level of the health syste
