I’d like to introduce you to PSI and its signature magazine, IMPACT. PSI is a leading global health organization with programs targeting malaria, child survival, HIV and reproductive health. PSI works with the public and private sector to provide health products and clinical services to the world's most vulnerable populations.
IMPACT is distributed to government and foundation donors, thought leaders, key media and public health officials in more than 67 countries. IMPACT covers critical issues facing the global health community. In the latest issue, IMPACT features exclusive interviews with a diverse group of individuals including:
- Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson discusses how individuals can make a difference: “The world needs the continuous engagement of ‘ordinary’ individuals on the issues that matter to them.”
- Economist Nancy Birdsall discusses trends in spending levels and investments in health by developing country governments.
- Former President Jimmy Carter on child marriage: “We need to persuade them [leaders] that child marriage affects whole communities and the development of their countries. It needs to be discussed – respectfully, but openly.”
IMPACT also spotlights innovative programs around the world. This month we go in depth for a look at an initiative in Zimbabwe to promote male circumcision as a tool to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS among the Muslim community. You can also read more about it at www.undispatch.org.
