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 to dramatically reduce the price of life-saving drugs and increase 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 to maximize sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, 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 diverse 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 has recently established a dedicated Innovation group to develop and incubate promising and impactful new program areas for the organization. The Innovation group has identified Mental Health the first of a number of critical new areas of focus for CHAI. The Director will join the Innovation team to incubate CHAI’s org-wide mental health work, and ultimately spin off this new endeavor into its own full line of programming.
The Director, Mental Health, will play a pivotal role in advancing CHAI's global mental health initiatives. Reporting to senior leadership, the Director will be responsible for leading strategic efforts to expand access to mental health services in low- and middle-income countries. This will primarily focus on the incubation of new programs to address severe mental health conditions in CHAI countries such as severe clinical depression, severe anxiety disorders and PTSD, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. The Director will collaborate closely with CHAI’s Ministry of Health partners to ensure effective mental health service integration and strengthen systems for lasting change.
