Director Vaccines Program at Clinton Health Access Initiative
Overview
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health
organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the
burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the
invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to
create and sustain high-quality health systems.
CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic, with the
goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and
increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest
burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded
its focus...
At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset... Learn more about our
