CHAI was founded in 2002 with a transformational goal: help save the lives of millions of people living with HIV/AIDS by dramatically increase access to HIV diagnostics, treatment, and care. Today, along with HIV, CHAI works in over 35 countries in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean to prevent and treat malaria, tuberculosis, hepatitis, and cancer, accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal, infant and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and strengthen health systems.
