Overview:
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. Based on the
premise that business-oriented strategies can facilitate solutions to
global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new
resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via
improved organization of commodity markets and more effective national
and sub-national level management. CHAI is focused on large scale impact
and, to date, has secured lower pricing agreements for treatment
options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI’s teams are working
side-by-side with over 25 governments to tackle many of the largest
health system barriers to effective care and treatment.
