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 tuberculosis. 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. Established in 2002 by President Clinton as the Clinton

HIV/AIDS Initiative, CHAI initially focused on addressing the limited access to

HIV/AIDS treatment faced by developing countries, where more than 90 percent of

individuals living with HIV/AIDS reside. By working in collaboration with

governments and NGO partners, CHAI has helped more than 2 million people access

the medicines needed for treatment, which represents nearly half of all the

people living with HIV and on treatment in developing countries. Building on

its model, CHAI has expanded its scope to include efforts to strengthen

healthcare delivery systems and to combat malaria and childhood illness.

Job Summary: The

e-Health Coordinator will be an integral member of the CHAI Uganda Country Team

and part of a growing team of e-health staff members across the organization.

From the development of patient retention tools to improving supply chain

management, CHAI’s efforts increasingly require the use and development of

innovative software solutions. The e-Health Coordinator will work across

multiple teams within CHAI Uganda to translate user requirements from the

Ministry of Health into high-quality software. The e-Health Coordinator will be

involved in the code review process, software testing and user-training and

client interactions as required.
