Overview
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc.

A hallmark of CHAI's approach is simultaneous and intensive engagement on the demand and supply sides of the market. CHAI's Global HIV Access Program (HAP) works to address barriers to commodity access and to foster a healthy marketplace, fundamentally changing the economics of global health to ensure the sustainable supply of essential medicines and diagnostics. By securing lower prices for key commodities and improving laboratories in the developing world, we are helping patients access the treatment and care they need.
