Organisation: Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI)
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
The Clinton Health Access
Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening
integrated health systems in the developing world and expanding access to care
and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases. CHAI’s
solution-oriented approach focuses on improving market dynamics for medicines
and diagnostics; lowering prices for treatment; accelerating access to
life-saving technologies; and helping governments build the capacity required
for high-quality care and treatment programs.
Since its establishment in
2002 by President William J. Clinton, CHAI has worked on the demand and supply
sides of the market to help more than 2 million HIV+ people access the
medicines needed for treatment—representing nearly half of all people and 2 out
of 3 children on HIV/AIDS treatment in developing countries. Building on this
model, CHAI has expanded its scope to include efforts to strengthen healthcare
delivery systems and to combat malaria and childhood illnesses.
