“The current conflict is a reminder that access to health products depends on resilient systems.” Innovation alone isn’t enough. Health supply chains must withstand climate and conflict shocks through low-carbon, resilient systems. @TheLancet @ADB_HQ

When health product markets are disrupted, access is disrupted. 2025 data shows: • 42% fewer people started oral HIV prevention • 5.8M fewer HIV tests • 39K fewer adults started treatment • 26K fewer children on treatment Protecting progress means protecting access.

For 20 years, we have worked to expand access to health innovations at scale. Our work addresses barriers that slow or limit access, affordability, supply, and delivery. This has supported faster introduction and wider reach. Access is what determines impact.

Oral PrEP initiations fell 42% in 2025. At the same time, injectable #lenacapavir launched at $40/person/year—negotiated by CHAI, @Unitaid, @WitsRHI, and @drreddys. The tool exists. The delivery system is eroding. ow.ly/za6l50Z8apV

HIV services are under strain: fewer tests, more children missing treatment, weaker prevention across Africa & Asia. The @CHAI_health HIV Market Impact Memo with Unitaid highlights urgent disruption. Lenacapavir shows what’s possible when innovation meets access-focused action.
New from CHAI and @Unitaid: a year into the HIV funding crisis, data shows little recovery. One exception: adults on treatment held stable. Full memo: ow.ly/cF0W50Z8a8k

Access to health products depends on markets that work for the people who need them. That means improving affordability, strengthening supply, and cutting delays that slow access to medicines and tools. From pricing to delivery, the aim is turning innovation into impact.

For 20 years, we have worked to bridge the gap between innovation and access in global health. Innovation only matters when it reaches the people who need it.

💉President Cyril Ramaphosa officially launches the national rollout of Lenacapavir, a new long-acting injectable for HIV prevention, at the Lilian Ngoyi Stadium in Secunda, Mpumalanga. The rollout reflects the collective commitment of government, civil society, the private sector, and development partners working together to end HIV as a public health threat and build a healthier future for all South Africans. #Lenacapavir4HIVPrevention #GovZAUpdates

Today, the first doses of lenacapavir were rolled out in South Africa, marking an important step in expanding HIV prevention options. At Unitaid, we're working with partners to support implementation and accelerate access through affordable generics and regional manufacturing.

Lenacapavir is a long-acting HIV prevention option given as just two injections a year. It adds to daily PrEP medication, which can be hard to maintain due to stigma, access, or adherence challenges. A 2025 partnership is helping turn innovation into access across 120 countries

Lenacapavir represents a once-in-a-generation HIV prevention opportunity, if it reaches those who need it most. Work is underway to ensure these innovations translate into equitable access for populations affected. Innovation is advancing. Delivery determines impact.

More than 25 years ago, Louis Da Gama received a call about a resurgence in malaria. Since then, innovation, partnerships and community action have helped save millions of lives. But progress remains fragile—and continued investment in new solutions is essential.

The Government of Kenya recently announced a US$7.8M investment to scale up maternal health products proven to help prevent postpartum hemorrhage. Building on evidence generated through the AMPLI-PPHI programme, it's an important step towards country-led ownership and scale.

When health innovations are scaled effectively and made accessible, their impact multiplies. For 20 years, we have worked to close the gap between innovation and access. 150 innovations. 320M people reached annually. 46:1 return on investment.

Margaret Happy lost her two sisters in the 1990s, when HIV treatment was not available. Today she works in Uganda to prevent advanced HIV disease through timely diagnosis. @Unitaid, we’re working to protect access to CD4 testing. Timing saves lives.
