Overview The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries, while strengthening the capabilities of governments and the private sector in those countries to create and sustain high-quality health systems that can succeed without our assistance. For more information, please visit: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org Program Overview  Each year, an estimated 112,000 children in Uganda will have hypoxemia or low levels of oxygen in the blood.  Without appropriate treatment, it is estimated that up to 30,000 of these children will die. Hypoxemia is a life-threatening condition, correlated with disease severity, and increases the risk of death by up to 5.4 times. Access to oxygen is essential in a health system, and oxygen therapy is required across a wide range of conditions, including pneumonia, sepsis, malaria, obstructed labor, and birth asphyxia. Availability of oxygen varies significantly, and is often complicated by inadequate provider knowledge on administration of oxygen therapy, scarcity of equipment, and where available, it is often non-functional. Newborns and young children are especially vulnerable; ~20% of neonate admissions and ~13% of pediatric pneumonia cases require oxygen therapy. CHAI supported the government of Uganda to develop the oxygen scale up plan and helped prioritize actions for immediate attention. Some of the priorities identified include strengthening providers’ capacity to manage hypoxemia, ensuring continued functionality of the oxygen equipment though proper repair and maintenance; improving the distribution of oxygen leveraging off the newly constructed plants and sustainable financing for distribution. With funding from ELMA and Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; CHAI will support the government accelerate implementation of the prioritized activities outlined above; in a scalable and sustainable way.
