Nigeria

Overview

CHAI began operating in Nigeria in 2007 with a focus on increasing access to pediatric HIV treatments. Today, we continue to work with national and state governments to improve the lives of children. We help accelerate the introduction of new vaccines, strengthen immunization delivery services across the country, and improve access to essential medicines to treat malaria, diarrhea, and pneumonia, the largest killers of children under five. CHAI works with the government to protect mothers by increasing awareness and access to essential family planning services to reduce unintended pregnancies. We also build sustainable financing systems to ensure the delivery of high-quality delivery services that can prevent the deaths of both women and infants.

We aim to reduce the prices of essential medicines, diagnostics, and other health products, including expanding private sector access and leveraging digital technology where applicable. We have successfully introduced life-saving pediatric and adult medicines to combat HIV, including the World Health Organization (WHO)-preferred first-line regimen, TLD. Using this same model, CHAI works with the government and partners to drive the uptake of diagnostics and treatments for hepatitis C, malaria, syphilis, cancer drugs, and cervical cancer.
