Overview
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance.

CHAI started supporting Indonesia’s Ministry of Health in 2008 to scale up adult anti-retroviral therapy through improving supply chain management, as well as providing technical assistance for improving the quality of ART and laboratory systems to support HIV care and treatment. In recent years, CHAI has expanded its support to the Ministry of Health to other areas including hepatitis and helping to facilitate BMS (Bristol-Myers Squibb) to donate pan-genotypic DAA (Direct-acting Antiviral), daclatasvir, more effective treatment for HCV patient, improving access to family planning, point of care diagnostics, mhealth, maternal and child health, and technical support for the Ministry of Health’s drive to sustainably fund healthcare.
Immunization services are offered in both public and private health facilities in Indonesia, national RI coverage data in Indonesia primarily includes data from public health centers (Puskesmas), health posts (Posyandu) and village birth facilities (Polindes). In addition, there is poor reports found from private health facilities. Private health facilities remain low in their recording and reporting practices for immunization, which may lead to under-estimates of coverage levels, particularly in urban settings with higher density of private health facilities. With onset of COVID-19 pandemic, Indonesia has seen an increasing shift towards seeking childhood immunization services in private clinics and hospitals.
