What does Access Health do?

Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global nonprofit health organization focused on saving lives and reducing disease burdens in low- and middle-income countries. Founded in 2002 by President Bill Clinton and Ira Magaziner, CHAI aims to make life-saving health products accessible to millions, particularly in the areas of HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and maternal health. The organization operates in 36 countries and has negotiated price reductions that benefit access in over 80 countries. CHAI's approach emphasizes market transformation, working with manufacturers, governments, and public health agencies to create sustainable health markets. The organization provides a range of services, including price negotiations for medications and vaccines, supply chain optimization, and health systems strengthening. With an operating budget of approximately $208.1 million and a dedicated team of around 2,110 employees, CHAI continues to expand its efforts to address emerging health challenges and improve health outcomes globally.
