Manager, Physicians and Physician Assistants

by Unknown  |  at  6:11 AM

Founded in 2002 by President William J. Clinton, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to strengthening integrated health systems around the world and expanding access to care and treatment for HIV/AIDS, malaria and other illnesses. Based on the premise that business oriented strategy can facilitate solutions to global health challenges, CHAI acts as a catalyst to mobilize new resources and optimize the impact of these resources to save lives, via improved organization of commodity markets and more effective local management. By working in association with governments and other NGO partners, CHAI is focused on large scale impact and, to date, CHAI has secured lower pricing agreements for treatment options in more than 70 countries. In addition, CHAI's teams are working side-by-side with over 30 governments to tackle many of the largest barriers to effective treatment and care.
Human Resources for Health
CHAI's Human Resources for Health (HRH) Programs aim to build the health education infrastructure and health workforce necessary to create high quality, sustainable healthcare systems in developing countries. CHAI is focusing its efforts in three strategic focus areas: 1) significantly increasing the number of qualified health workers 2) optimizing the distribution of health workers 3) improving health worker productivity.
In 2014, CHAI supported the Government of Liberia to develop a bold, comprehensive Health Workforce Program to guide national and donor funds to achieve the objectives laid out in Liberia’s 2011 National Human Resources Policy and Plan (HRPP). The resulting strategy articulates Liberia’s need to increase health faculty at training institutions and medical infrastructure at training hospitals in order to achieve an aggressive scale-up plan that will increase the quality, skill-diversity and quantity of health professionals trained in Liberia. The strategy emphasizes the country’s desire to move from Ebola containment and treatment to prevention of a recurrence, which will only be achieved through rebuilding and strengthening the health system holistically.
In 2015, CHAI is supporting the Government of Liberia to mobilize resources for Liberia’s training institutions and government to ensure development and management of existing and new health professional training programs. In addition, CHAI is leading a coalition of advocacy and implementation partners to support Liberia's Ministry of Health with pre-implementation activities.
