Health Alliance International (HAI) in a non-profit organization based in Seattle, Washington, USA. HAI is an international public health organization, loosely affiliated with the University of Washington, currently working in Mozambique, East Timor, Côte d'Ivoire and Sudan. HAI focuses 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. In Mozambique, HAI supports the Ministry of Health in building the country's HIV/AIDS treatment services. In East Timor, HAI supports the Ministry of Health to strengthen the country's maternal and newborn care services. HAI also has a history of advocacy for the right to health for the poor. HAI was founded in 1987 by Steve Gloyd.

HAI is notable for its focus on a sector-wide approach to supporting health systems, rather than working "vertically" and independently of the local government.
