The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.
CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life- saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.
At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org
CHAI is an Equal Opportunity Employer, and is committed to providing an environment of fairness, and mutual respect where all applicants have access to equal employment opportunities. CHAI values diversity and inclusion and recognizes that our mission is best advanced by the leadership and contributions of people with diverse experience, backgrounds, and culture.
Country Program Overview:
CHAI began working in Cambodia in 2005 to help the Ministry of Health tackle the rise in HIV by introducing better treatment for adults and children and eliminating mother-to-child transmission. The CHAI Cambodia office has grown rapidly since its inception to manage multiple projects. In addition to HIV, CHAI is now supporting the Ministry of Health to tackle the burden of infectious diseases including TB and drug-resistant TB, and hepatitis; save the lives of women and children through improved access to lifesaving reproductive health care and immunizations; and strengthen health systems, including through increased oxygen availability at all levels of the health system and laboratory services. CHAI also supports the Cambodia Ministry of Health in achieving its goals for addressing non-communicable diseases (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, cancer, mental health, etc.).

Country Program Overview:

CHAI also supports the Cambodia Ministry of Health in achieving its goals for addressing non-communicable diseases (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, cancer, mental health, etc.).
Cambodia has made significant gains in health system strengthening over the past decade, with expanded respiratory care infrastructure investments — including in medical oxygen — helping to reduce preventable deaths from acute conditions, such as severe pneumonia, sepsis, and neonatal complications. However, sustaining these gains requires continued investment in innovative supply models and the generation of rigorous evidence to guide scale-up decisions. In Kampong Cham Province, CHAI partnered with the Ministry of Health (MoH), particularly the Department of Health Services (DHS) and the Provincial Health Department (PHD) to repair and operationalize an oxygen generation plant (Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA)) at Kampong Cham Provincial Hospital. This collaboration laid the foundation for a hub-and-spoke oxygen distribution model, through which the provincial hospital refills and supplies cylinders to meet demand at the provincial hospital and peripheral healthcare facilities across the province at significantly lower cost than private suppliers (USD 5–7 per cylinder compared to USD 13–15). As of January 2026, all 105 public health facilities in Kampong Cham Province, along with a growing number of private providers, are participating in the model.
Building on the Kampong Cham model, CHAI is now scaling up the Hub-and-Spoke approach to 1–2 additional provinces (Battambang, Preah Sihanouk) while simultaneously developing a national PSA plant operation, maintenance, and management guideline in partnership with DHS, BHI, and the Global Fund. To support this expanded 2026 portfolio, CHAI Cambodia is recruiting 1 local Cambodian volunteer embedded within the Oxygen Program team.
This volunteer supports Oxygen Program Associate, who leads Hub-and-Spoke implementation across Kampong Cham and new provinces, clinical oxygen strengthening, provincial governance, and the PSA plant guideline development process.
