Health Alliance International (HAI) was a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington, USA. HAI was an international public health organization, and a center of the University of Washington Department of Global Health,[1] that worked in Mozambique,[2] East Timor, and Côte d'Ivoire.[3] HAI focused on supporting government Ministries of Health to expand services at a national level in order to boost the overall health infrastructure of a country, and to strengthen its ability to provide sustainable sector-wide services.[4] HAI was notable for its focus on a sector-wide approach to supporting health systems, rather than working "vertically" and independently of the local government.__TOC__

In East Timor, HAI supported the Ministry of Health to strengthen the country's maternal and newborn care services. HAI also had a history of advocacy for the right to health for the poor.
