Our Model
The HAI Model is simple: work with and within public sector health systems to strengthen primary health care for all.
For 35 years, Health Alliance International worked in solidarity with ministries of health in order to build the capacity of local health providers, professionals, and researchers to lead their own, effective primary health care systems. From the very beginning, HAI did what many global health NGOs have neglected to do: focus on strengthening public sector health systems by listening to and serving the needs articulated by countries and advocating for policies and practices that promote social, economic, and health equity.
The HAI Model focuses on alliance with ministries of health to improve government capacity to measure performance, improve quality, and expand the scope of health care services. As such, the HAI model encourages NGO staff to work alongside local health system leadership as key partners in designing, implementing and evaluating health programs.
