About the Organization
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. CHAI was founded in 2002 with a transformational goal: help save the lives of millions of people living with HIV/AIDS by dramatically increase access to HIV diagnostics, treatment, and care. Today, along with HIV, CHAI works in over 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean to prevent and treat malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and cancer, accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal, infant and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and strengthen health systems.
CHAI’s approach is unique. Our aim is not just to impact a problem, but to fundamentally change the way in which the problem is addressed to solve the issue. We use a business-minded methodology to shape healthcare markets to reduce the costs of lifesaving medications and other critical health care products. We work in partnership with governments to reform their health systems, targeting areas where current methods are failing. By working with governments at the national, regional, and local levels, CHAI ensures that our programs are sustainably integrated into long term health system planning and are successfully financed long past the end of our programmatic involvement. The results of CHAI’s work have been transformational. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org
