CHAI - Clinton Health Access Initiative, Laos

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives, reducing the burden of disease and strengthening integrated health systems in low- and middle-income countries where we work.

CHAI began partnering with the government of Lao PDR in 2014 to support a reform of the country’s supply chain system, aimed at improving the quality of patient care through better access to medicines, diagnostics, and health products. Begun as a pilot in 2014, the project has reached all provinces nationally, and nearly all 188 central, provincial, and district warehouses and hospitals with real-time stock data for treatments and supplies for HIV, tuberculosis, malaria, reproductive health, and essential medicines.
