Bamako, Mali – The United States and Mali share a belief that a healthy population is essential to building a stronger, more prosperous nation. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is celebrating the contributions of two major health programs that have achieved great successes, and is announcing a new $45 million award for Health Systems Strengthening, Governance, and Finance (USAID HSS) to Palladium, a leading implementer of international development programs.
Providing health care in a country as large and diverse as Mali requires strong and transparent systems, sustainable financing, and motivated health professionals with the knowledge and skills required to manage these systems and provide quality care. USAID HSS will expand access to high-quality health services and increase Malians’ ability to plan, finance, and manage their health systems and individual health.
