The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to the 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. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.  

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries. 

In India, CHAI works in partnership with its India registered affiliate William J Clinton Foundation (WJCF) under the guidance of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) at the Central and States' levels on an array of high priority initiatives aimed at improving health outcomes. Currently, WJCF supports government partners across projects to expand access to quality care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis, tuberculosis, COVID-19, common cancers, sexual and reproductive health, immunization, and essential medicines.

About the project:

India continues to bear the world’s highest burden of tuberculosis (TB) in terms of absolute numbers of incident TB cases. National TB prevalence survey (2019-21) revealed a significant 31.3% (estimated) crude prevalence of TB infection (TBI) among India’s population aged 15 years and above.  Moreover, India has set an ambitious target of eliminating TB by 2025. The National Strategic Plan 2017–2025 outlines a critical target of initiating 95% of identified/eligible TBI cases on TB Preventive Treatment (TPT) by 2025.

The TB Household Contact Management (TB HCM) project is a pioneering initiative addressing critical gaps in coverage and completion of TPT amongst household contacts of notified drug sensitive pulmonary TB patients, with particular focus on under five (U5) children. Planned to be implemented in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, this four-year TB HCM project aims to impact over 2.5 million individuals through a community-based service delivery model that leverages community health workers from the National Tuberculosis Elimination Programme (NTEP) and general health systems. As the first large-scale implementation of TPT while focussing on Universal Health Coverage strategies, the project focuses on decentralising and strengthening TB care within general health systems. Additionally, it incorporates an impact evaluation component, further enhancing its significance in advancing TB prevention and care in alignment with national health priorities and international best practices.
