PSI/Cameroon (ACMS) is an affiliate and platform of Population Services International, with programs in malaria, reproductive health, child survival, safe water, diarrhea, and HIV prevention and treatment. PSI/Cameroon promotes health products, services and healthy behaviors that enable low-income and vulnerable people to lead healthier lives. Products and services are sold at subsidized prices rather than given away in order to motivate the involvement of the private commercial sector.

PSI/Cameroon was founded in 1996 to improve reproductive health, focusing especially on HIV prevention programs. In 2004, ACMS added a malaria program which distributed treated “Super moustiquaire” and “Bloc” nets. In 2006, ACMS extended its product portfolio by integrating the safe water program with Sûr’Eau/Water Guard. In 2007, long-lasting treated insecticide nets branded Permanet were introduced, followed by the launching of the impregnation kit KO-TAB 123, one year later on. In 2009, Permanet products were replaced by Interceptor nets. During the same year, ACMS scaled up the social marketing of female condoms branded Protectiv’. A new oral rehydration salt called Orasel, which includes a zinc treatment, was recently introduced to target the Expanded Impact Project health areas.
