Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit:http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

CHAI is engaged in several technology initiatives across various countries to address critical gaps in effective health systems operations and delivery. Infrastructure and human resource constraints limit the impact of public health programs and cause unacceptable delays in achieving widely recognized goals of universal access to prevention and treatment. When designed and implemented well, technology solutions can achieve transformational impact without significant capital investments and enable more efficient use of limited resources.

CHAI’s Global Information Systems team assists several country and global teams in using technology to facilitate programmatic impact by addressing critical gaps in effective health systems operations and delivery. CHAI’s Family Planning (FP) team works with Ministries of Health in a number of countries to increase access to FP commodities and services. To facilitate achieving this objective, the Information Systems team has supported the Global FP and country teams in Nigeria, Kenya, and Tanzania in developing web-based dashboards that integrate and visualize service delivery, supply chain, and human resource information from existing data systems to serve as performance management and planning tools for Ministries of Health. Global Information Systems team is working to transition the dashboard to the government with an effective product management delivery
