Center for Health Market Innovations Brochure

Gina Lagomarsino, a Managing Director at Results for Development (R4D) Institute, introduced PSWG members to the Center for Health Market Innovations (CHMI) program. The CHMI is a global network of partners that collects, analyzes and disseminates information about Health Market Innovations in developing countries, with the goal of accelerating the diffusion of successful models to improve health and financing protection for the poor. Essentially, this project seeks to highlight programs with the potential to replicate and serve more people, and to create linkages between donors, investors, researchers, policy makers and implementing partners through a comprehensive online database of programs. To date, CHMI has partnered with eight on-the-ground organizations that are helping to identify promising health market innovations in and around Bolivia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Pakistan, Philippines, South Africa, and Vietnam. CHMI's online programs database now houses information about more than 700 programs--and is constantly growing. The number of users has tripled in the last three months, with users now in 153 countries. The CHMI website also has a blog where users are able to capture and share information.
