PSI Malawi is a top-performing PSI country program that creates measurable health impact for low income and vulnerable Malawians. In 2014, through our range of programs and activities in HIV Prevention, malaria prevention, Reproductive Health and Child Survival we averted 4% of Malawi's national burden of disease, meaning we gave back over 485,000 health years of life to the people of Malawi. As you'd expect with results like this, we are a hard-working, focused team who believe in what we do and enjoy working with each other to achieve such results. Working in Malawi, we work in one of the least developed but most beautiful countries in the PSI world.
