About PharmaLink
Our Mission
PharmaLink's mission is to transform local pharmacies into a vital link in the health system.
PharmaLink was built by PSI to close gaps in healthcare systems, placing pharmacists at the center while connecting the broader public and private sector to the care continuum.
We bridge community trust with clinical excellence to strengthen connected, accessible primary healthcare across Africa.
Seamless Integration
We bring pharmacists, other healthcare providers, and partners together within a connected data-driven ecosystem, breaking down silos to enable more coordinated and effective care.
Enhanced Convenience
By leveraging the accessibility of local pharmacies, we make it easier for patients to receive essential health services close to home. This improves the patient experience and fosters stronger continuity of care.
Better Health Outcomes
With timely interventions and coordinated care, we build healthier communities, reduce healthcare system strain, and boost readiness for public health challenges—including future pandemics.
Our Purpose
PharmaLink exists to fully integrate pharmacies into primary care and strengthen public health outcomes.
We believe that where you receive healthcare should never determine the quality of care you receive.
Across Africa, pharmacists and private sector providers reach patients that formal health systems often cannot.
Because, when frontline providers are equipped, connected, and valued, communities get healthier, and health systems get stronger.
Equip: Providing frontline providers and pharmacies with the right training and infrastructure update.
Connect: Building a continent-wide knowledge-sharing network.
Showcase: Making pharmacies’ contribution to primary care visible and measurable.
PharmaLink Benefits
Across Africa, in neighborhoods, markets, and towns where a clinic may be hours away, pharmacists reach patients that formal health systems often cannot. These trusted providers are the first point of contact for primary healthcare.
Yet their potential has too often gone unrealized, limited by gaps in training, isolation from peers, and a lack of data. PharmaLink exists to change that by turning local pharmacies into a vital link in the health system.
