About CHAI: 
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 on HIV 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.
CHAI, in
partnership with the Ministry of Health, seeks to increase access to
appropriate treatment of diarrhea and pneumonia among children under 5 years.
