CHAI has supported the Ministry of Public Health in introducing and scaling up pediatric and second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) and strengthening laboratory systems to improve early infant diagnosis (EID).

Since then, CHAI has supported the introduction of point-of-care testing for HIV and other innovations to improve turnaround time for results. CHAI has also contributed to integrating EID, Viral Load (VL), and tuberculosis testing and has supported the National AIDS Control Committee to improve treatment access.

CHAI also works closely with the Government of Cameroon to strengthen malaria treatment, improve vaccine delivery systems, and support the introduction of new vaccines including those for HPV and polio. More recently, CHAI has supported government efforts toward universal health coverage to ensure affordable and quality healthcare services for the population.
