CHAI Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.

At CHAI, our people are our greatest asset, and none of this work would be possible without their talent, time, dedication and passion for our mission and values. We are a highly diverse team of enthusiastic individuals across 40 countries with a broad range of skillsets and life experiences. CHAI is deeply grounded in the countries we work in, with majority of our staff based in program countries. Learn more about our exciting work: http://www.clintonhealthaccess.org

Background

In 2023, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) launched the Guidelines for Early Detection of Childhood Cancer. These guidelines aim to enable Puskesmas (Community Health Center) staff to recognize the early signs and symptoms of childhood cancer and to carry out initial management and referral to hospitals. CHAI Indonesia has supported the Ministry of Health in disseminating and implementing these guidelines in West Java Province, particularly in Bogor and Bandung, as well as in DKI Jakarta.

In 2025, the guidelines were revised based on updates from the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and an evaluation conducted by the Ministry of Health and the Indonesian Pediatric Society (IDAI). The revision covered the recording and reporting forms as well as their usage procedures.

In 2026, CHAI continued its support for childhood cancer efforts by expanding into Central Java, specifically Semarang City. Based on a situational analysis conducted from February to April 2026, the Semarang City Health Office (Dinkes) had already been using a digital-based SIMPUS (Puskesmas Information Management System) to support services at 40 Puskesmas.

To implement Early Detection of Childhood Cancer, capacity building is needed for Puskesmas staff, along with the addition of a related Recording and Reporting module. This module will be one of the main topics covered during capacity building, given that all recording and reporting is now digital-based.

The SIMPUS used by the Semarang City Health Office was developed in-house. However, due to the current high workload—with 4 systems currently under development—consultant support is needed to assist with the development process. CHAI is looking for a team or individual to develop the recording and reporting module for Early Detection of Childhood Cancer within the SIMPUS at the Semarang City Health Office, and will collaborate with the Semarang City Health Office throughout the process. This document serves as a reference for the purpose of adding this module to the SIMPUS.
