Overview:

The Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI – formerly the Clinton HIV/AIDS Initiative) under the leadership of former President William Jefferson Clinton III has worked since 2002 to reduce the pricing of HIV/AIDS medicines and diagnostics, and to work with governments around the world to further turn the tide on the disease by building the systems needed to deliver care and treatment. In ten short years, President Clinton and CHAI have made a substantial impact in the fight against HIV/AIDS, including seven breakthrough price reductions for drugs and diagnostics. Today, more than two million people living with HIV/AIDS are on lifesaving treatment using medicines purchased under CHAI agreements with manufacturers. In addition to programs focused on HIV/AIDS, CHAI has expanded in recent years to assist efforts to fight malaria, improve and strengthen health system, reduce the burden of Maternal and Child Health disease, and most recently, facilitate the introduction and scale up of new vaccines in developing countries
