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. 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.

About the project:

Under the COVID-19 Response Mechanism (C19RM) of MoHFW and The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM), WJCF is supporting the National TB Elimination Program’s (NTEP) active-case finding (ACF) initiatives to increase TB case-detection across multiple states. The project deploys ultraportable x-ray machines, coupled with AI interpretation of x-ray images, to detect TB at an early stage and hence break the transmission of the causative agents. Diagnosing TB at the community level also reduces out-of-pocket expenditure and morbidity from the disease.

The project is being implemented in 33 (urban and rural) districts across 11 states of Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Ladakh, Nagaland & Meghalaya.

The project aims to generate evidence and examine operational feasibility of various targeting, mobilization, and service delivery models across diverse geographic and population settings to inform appropriate deployment and support future scale-up.
