PSI Pakistan was delighted to welcome the KfW Health Mission team, which included Ms. Anna Berezovskaja (Portfolio Manager, Health & Social Protection, KfW, Frankfurt), Dr. Matthias Nachtnebel (Technical Advisor, KfW, Frankfurt), and Dr. Masuma Zaidi (Senior Sector Specialist, Health, KfW, Pakistan).
Our Country Director, Ayesha Leghari, and Director of Programs Operations, Adnan Siraj, participated in inspiring discussions, highlighting our shared dedication to social protection, climate resilience, and health innovation. Upholding PSI Pakistan's principle of centering our work around consumers, we explored how public-private partnerships can integrate consumer voices into government-led initiatives such as the Sehat Sahulat Program. This program aims to provide financial protection and access to quality healthcare for the most vulnerable populations. It also promotes community upliftment, accountability, and continuous improvement through dynamic feedback loops.
Additionally, we discussed the crucial integration of climate resilience into health strategies, especially for poor and vulnerable populations. The conversation emphasized the significant impact of climate change on health outcomes and explored innovative and sustainable approaches to address these challenges.
It was encouraging to see donors open to calculated risk-taking, as innovation often requires stepping out of the comfort zone.
Driven by innovation and collaboration, we are excited about the future impact the donors, development partners, and public sector can make together.
