HIV/AIDS reside. By working in collaboration with governments and NGO partners,
CHAI has helped more than 2 million people access the medicines needed for
treatment, which represents nearly half of all the people living with HIV and
on treatment in developing countries. Building on its model, CHAI has expanded
its scope to include efforts to strengthen healthcare delivery systems and to
combat malaria and childhood illness.
