Health Alliance International
Working in Ivory Coast, Mozambique, and Sudan to increase access to quality health care, including HIV/AIDS treatment, while strengthening public health systems.More than 22 million people in sub-Saharan Africa are living with HIV/AIDS. While HIV/AIDS is a devastating burden, it is only one of the many health problems that face developing countries. Compounding the high rates of disease in many areas is a sorely inadequate health care infrastructure: poor countries have few health centers, hospitals or health care workers, and so struggle to provide critical care and treatment.
Health Alliance International (HAI) works in partnership with ministries of health to strengthen health systems, especially in post-conflict settings. Our mission is to support policies that foster social and economic equity for all, with a focus on public-sector health systems and a progressive realization of the right to health.
We help governments build their primary care systems, including maternal and child care and HIV/AIDS testing and treatment projects. Rather than setting up our own clinics and programs as a short-term fix, we focus on 1) working to improve public sector infrastructure, capacity and quality of health care services, and 2) advocating for policies and practices that support health system strengthening.
In Africa we have programs in Mozambique, Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), and Sudan. We have been working with the government of Mozambique since 1987, helping to build the country’s health system, by providing material support, technical advice, training, mentoring, and assistance with research, monitoring and evaluation. As a result, the number of HIV-positive Mozambicans on antiretroviral therapy has increased from just 4,000 in 2004 to 80,000 today.
