Our Platform:

PharmaLink is PSI’s integrated, community-based primary health care platform that equips pharmacists with the right training and tools to deliver accessible, high-quality care where communities need it most.

Our Programmes:

Starting with pharmacy-based immunization delivery (PBID) funded by Takeda’s Global CSR Program and led by PSI, the platform expands access to essential services such as hypertension screening and referral pathways funded by MSD’s Solutions for Healthy Communities Global Grants Program. Other integrated services include preventive health interventions such as infant weight monitoring and nutritional screening and supplementation.

Our Approach:

Through specialized training, a supportive continental network, and actionable data insights, PharmaLink equips pharmacists to improve health outcomes and strengthen community health systems.

By extending primary care through pharmacies, we bring care closer to communities, remove barriers to access, strengthen public health systems, and accelerate Africa’s journey toward universal health coverage.”

The PharmaLink Mission

Bridging Gaps with Innovative Care

Across Africa, pharmacists are the invisible backbone of healthcare—reaching patients formal systems miss, yet operating under-resourced and under-connected.

PharmaLink equips these trusted providers with modern tools and peer networks, bringing them in from the margins.

We are generating evidence that when frontline providers are equipped and valued, communities get healthier and health systems get stronger.
