CHAI first started partnering with the Vietnamese government in 2006 to help fight HIV/AIDS. Our work has since evolved. We provide end-to-end support on the national response to many infectious and non-communicable diseases. This includes collaborating at all stages from initial design of a program to policy development to evaluation of impact.

We are supporting the government’s drive to end malaria in the country by 2030. Our support includes strengthening disease surveillance, introducing innovative vector control tools, and improving case management. As part of Vietnam’s End TB 2035 goals, we are also finding innovative ways to identify the missing 40 percent of TB cases. Leveraging the national social health insurance system and Global Fund-procured drugs, we are helping find, diagnose, and cure the nearly one million people living with hepatitis C in the country. We also helped develop the country’s electronic Learning Management System for vaccination health workers and helped introduce new vaccines into the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI). Currently, we are working on the national response to hypertension and diabetes and exploring new programs in school eye health, dengue fever, mental health, and primary healthcare and sustainable health financing.
