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.

Programme Overview:
WJCF seeks to expand access to comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services, strengthen maternal and newborn care across India by strengthening systems, innovating service delivery, and empowering communities. Our goal is to address the entire continuum of care, from reproductive health and family planning to safe pregnancy and newborn care, through evidence-driven strategies, collaborative partnerships, and sustainable solutions.
Since 2018, WJCF has partnered with national and state governments to strengthen Sexual, Reproductive, Maternal, and Newborn Health (SRMNH) services across India. Our work has focused on expanding access to comprehensive abortion care, improving family planning and contraceptive uptake, strengthening antenatal and newborn care, addressing anemia, and piloting innovative service delivery models. Between 2018 and 2023, we supported states in scaling CAC services, building provider capacity, improving iron and folic acid supplementation, enhancing readiness of maternal and newborn health facilities, and closing supply chain gaps for family planning commodities. We also introduced digital health interventions and tested new approaches to improve service delivery.
In 2024โ2025, WJCF collaborated with state governments to develop multi-year strategies aimed at reducing maternal and neonatal mortality and broadening access to high-quality SRH services. These strategic roadmaps, endorsed by state leadership, lay the foundation for expanding contraceptive choice, including new methods such as long-acting reversible contraceptives, strengthening facility-level MNH care, and establishing robust monitoring and evaluation systems. During this period, WJCF also deepened programmatic support by strengthening access to intravenous iron for treatment of moderate and severe anemia in pregnancy, enhancing CAC service delivery, and expanding availability of modern contraceptive methods through both public and private-sector channels. Additionally, we designed and tested alternative service delivery models for reproductive health and family planning, including leveraging e-pharmacy platforms to reach populations with limited access to SRH products.
Across all years, WJCF has worked closely with government counterparts, development partners, private-sector innovators, and frontline providers to improve access, quality, and awareness across the SRMNH continuum. Our approach combines policy support, data and analytics, operational assistance, market shaping, and scalable implementation models to deliver sustainable impact for women, adolescents, newborns, and families across India.
