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

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 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.
Since 2007, CHAI has been supporting the Government of Cameroon to introduce and scale up lifesaving Pediatric and second line treatments for HIV as well as helping to strengthen HIV laboratory systems especially early infant diagnosis for HIV.
