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.
