(PSA) is a niche management consultancy with a mission to ensure that no patient in low- and middle-income countries suffers due to lack of essential medicine. They specialise in Supply Chain Transformation for the public health & humanitarian sectors through consultancy, research and training.

PSA was founded in 2013 by Pamela Steele. It has headquarters in Oxford, UK and regional offices in Ethiopia, Kenya and Nigeria.

They provide sustainable solutions for the development of the in-country capacity of individuals and organisations to reduce dependency on external support. Working with governments, International Non-Governmental Organisations and the United Nations, they research, train and provide consultancy, deploying technical specialists to transform health and humanitarian supply chains in collaboration with client teams.

At PSA, they are committed to excellence in all they do – for their colleagues and their communities, and for their clients and, ultimately, for the patients who benefit from their work. Their collaborative culture transcends organisational and geographic boundaries.
