The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work 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 the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.

Program Overview

CHAI’s Global Tuberculosis program is working with our partners to eliminate Tuberculosis (TB), helping governments better diagnose, treat, and prevent the disease. We are closely working with suppliers and governments to facilitate the introduction of new quality-assured products at lower prices that offer higher cure rates, shorter treatment durations, and fewer side effects.

We support countries with innovative tools to find those who may be infected and get them treated early through the introduction and scale-up of new TB diagnostics. Our team has been supporting various National Tuberculosis Programs (NTPs) with the development of use cases, procurement, regulatory approval and rollout of the Chest X-ray machines and targeted Next Gen Sequencing (tNGS). We help accelerate the adoption of treatment algorithms and service delivery innovations for drug-resistant TB. We are also working with countries to roll out shorter preventative treatments to vulnerable, high-risk populations, including people living with HIV, children, and contacts of those with the disease to prevent the active form of the disease.
