Founded in 2002, by
President William J. Clinton and Ira Magaziner, the Clinton Health Access
Initiative, Inc. (“CHAI”) is a global health organization committed to
strengthening integrated health systems and expanding access to care and
treatment in the developing world. CHAI’s solution-oriented approach focuses on
improving market dynamics for medicines and diagnostics; lowering prices for
treatment; accelerating access to lifesaving te
chnologies; and helping
governments build the capacity required for high-quality care and treatment
programs. Since its inception, CHAI’s programs have helped more than 11.8
million people in more than 70 countries have access to CHAI-negotiated prices
for HIV/AIDS medicines, saving the global health community billions of dollars.

The Viral Hepatitis
Program in Rwanda commenced its support to the Ministry of Health (MoH) in late
2014. The major barrier to treatment for Hepatitis C (Hep C), worldwide but
also in Rwanda is the extremely high cost of drugs. CHAI has been working in
partnership with MoH for the past years to develop hepatitis guidelines, cost a
national program, and assist in drug price negotiations for Hepatitis C. In
parallel to support around Hep C, CHAI is also supporting the Government of
Rwanda in their decision for the care and management of Hepatitis B (Hep B).
With CHAI’s support
Rwanda aims to get all patients infected with viral hepatitis B & C on
treatment by getting affordable medications which can be included in the
Rwandan Community Based Health Insurance Scheme ( locally known as the
Mutuelle), and eradicating transmission of mother to child Hep B with the
implementation of the universal vaccine.
The CHAI Rwanda
Hepatitis program is seeking a highly motivated, flexible individual to provide
technical support to the CHAI team and the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC). The
program requires someone who is keen to learn, flexible with a strong
analytical mind, excellent skills in Excel and ideally SPSS or STATA. Based at
CHAI with potential work at the Ministry/RBC the candidate must have a high
degree of self-confidence and cultural sensitivity as he/she will be working
closely with both MoH and NGO partners, and will be helping to set the tone for
CHAI’s work in Rwanda.

will be responsible for a wide variety of tasks, from quantitative analysis and
model development in Excel, to conducting site visits to collect appropriate
data, to coordinating, arranging and leading broad stakeholder meetings to gain
consensus on proposed recommendations, guidelines and strategic documents. The
