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 skill sets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with the majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI values diversity and inclusion, and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.
Program Overview
The CHAI Ghana Sexual Reproductive Maternal and Neonatal Health (SRMNH) team currently provides technical and operational support to Ghana Health Service (GHS) and other SRMNH partners on the scale-up of Subcutaneous Depot-medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC) in Ghana and to share lessons learned and best practices globally in partnership with the PATH, Access Collaborative and other DMPA-SC introduction/scale-up partners. The project aims to increase and sustain access to and uptake of DMPA-SC to provide women and families with an expanded method mix and to reduce the unmet need for family planning. Till date DMPA-SC has been scaled-up to all regions in Ghana; however, to achieve the optimal use of the product, CHAIโs current phase of support is also targeting specific regions with interventions to promote the use of DMPA-SC for self-injection and help the regions to address challenges affecting successful scale-up of DMPA-SC.
Again, to help reduce the high incidence of maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality in Ghana, the CHAI SRMNH team is supporting the GHS with the scale-up of comprehensive abortion care, as well as the management and treatment of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) and hypertension in pregnancy (HIP), treatment for Apnoea of Prematurity (AOP) including the introduction and scale up of Caffeine Citrate in neonatal units within hospitals across the country through FCDO funded projects.
