GHSC-PSM is the largest project ever implemented by USAID. We work to make quality health products consistently available in the countries we work in by leveraging data to accelerate supply chain transformation. The project focuses on four health areas: HIV/AIDS, malaria, reproductive health and family planning and maternal, newborn and child health in addition to responding to health threats such as Zika and COVID-19.

The USAID Global Health Supply Chain Program-Procurement and Supply Management (GHSC-PSM) project is funded under USAID Contract No. AID-OAA-I-15-0004. GHSC-PSM connects technical solutions and proven commercial processes to promote efficient and cost-effective health supply chains worldwide. Our goal is to ensure uninterrupted supplies of health commodities to save lives and create a healthier future for all. The project purchases and delivers health commodities, offers comprehensive technical assistance to strengthen national supply chain systems, and provides global supply chain leadership.
