CHAI's solution-oriented approach focuses on improving market dynamics for medicines and diagnostics; lowering prices for treatment; accelerating access to lifesaving technologies; and helping governments build the capacity required for high-quality care and treatment programs.

The Viral Hepatitis Program in Rwanda commenced its support to the Ministry of Health (MoH) in late 2014.

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).
