Overview
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, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org
In 2006, CHAI signed an MOU with the Government of Malawi to strengthen health systems in the most challenged districts, provide national support to HIV/AIDS drug pricing and programmatic work, support the pilot and scale-up of prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV initiatives, expand access to ART for children, strengthen Malawi's lab system, and scale-up an integrated nutrition program for children. Since then, CHAI's support to the Malawi Ministry of Health (MoH) has expanded and is clustered into three major programmatic areas – Infectious Diseases, Universal Health Coverage and Health Systems Strengthening, and Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal and Newborn Health.
