About CHAI

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries. CHAI works at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in countries with the highest burden of disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus to include infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, vaccines, maternal and child health, chronic malnutrition, assistive technology, human resources for health, digital health and health financing.

CHAI works across 40 countries with diverse teams grounded in the countries where its programs are implemented.
