Health Alliance International

Health Alliance International (HAI) in a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington, USA. HAI is an international public health organization, and a center of the University of Washington Department of Global Health,[1] currently working in Mozambique,[2] East Timor, and Côte d'Ivoire.[3] HAI focuses on supporting government Ministries of Health to expand services at a national level in order to boost the overall health infrastructure of a country, and to strengthen its ability to provide sustainable sector-wide services.[4] HAI is notable for its focus on a sector-wide approach to supporting health systems, rather than working "vertically" and independently of the local government.[1]
