Advisory
Focused engagements across the life of a health organization: starting it, running it, getting paid, combining it with another, digitizing it and paying for outcomes.
Healthcare management · Consulting · Management services
Health systems that reach every community.
Chia Dex Ventures helps governments, healthcare operators and investors design, build and run health services, from a single clinic to a national programme, in the United States and across sub-Saharan Africa.
- Headquartered in Dallas, Texas
- Engagements in English and French

Good intentions build clinics. Management keeps them open.
The firm
Management discipline for the work of keeping people well.
Chia Dex Ventures brings the operating discipline of American healthcare administration (planning, finance, revenue, quality, technology) to the people who build and run health services, wherever they work.
We advise on single projects, design national programmes with governments and their partners, and, as the management services organization of our group, run the shared functions that let healthcare businesses grow without losing control.
What we do
Three ways we work with you.
02
Programmes
Public-health programmes we design with ministries and development partners, from mobile hospitals to national digital health records, then help deploy and hand over.
03
Management services
As a management services organization (MSO), we provide finance, compliance, technology and operations to the companies we manage, so their teams can focus on care.
Where to start
One firm, five ways in.
Government agencies and ministries, partners, operators, investors and clinic owners come to us with different questions. Choose yours to see where we usually begin.
Governments and agencies
Public programmes, delivered to the letter of the contract.
For county, state and federal agencies in the United States, we deliver contracts on time, within budget and to their requirements, under our NAICS codes. With ministries of health, we design national programmes (mobile hospitals, women’s health, national digital records), costed, financed and handed over to national teams.

Development partners
Programmes built to be measured.
We turn priorities into programmes with a financing case, indicators set against WHO targets and reporting that shows what each contribution achieved.
Request a briefing
Operators and founders
From feasibility study to a well-run facility.
Planning, licensing, staffing and systems for new hospitals and clinics; operations and revenue cycle for those already open, in the United States and in Africa.

Investors
Operational diligence before you commit.
We assess the operations, revenue cycle, compliance and technology of healthcare businesses, then plan the integration. We do not act as a broker or sell securities.
- Mergers, acquisitions and integration
- Revenue cycle management
- Healthcare start-ups and new facilities
US clinic owners
Grow the practice without losing control.
Operations that hold up to audits, a revenue cycle that gets you paid, value-based contracts, and finance, billing, compliance and technology run for you by our MSO.
Request a briefingCapabilities
Seven disciplines, one standard of execution.
Each capability stands on its own; most engagements draw on several. All of them are delivered by senior people, in English or in French.
01
Healthcare start-ups and new facilities
From feasibility study to opening day: new hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centres and health ventures.
Explore02
Practice operations and performance
Patient flow, staffing, quality and compliance that let a facility do more good with the same resources.
Explore03
Revenue cycle management
Getting paid fully and on time for the care you provide: coding, claims, collections and payer contracts.
Explore
04
Mergers, acquisitions and integration
Operational due diligence and integration that turns two organizations into one that works better.
Explore
05
Digital health and health information systems
Electronic records, telemedicine, data centres and the governance that makes health data useful and safe.
Explore
06
Value-based care and population health
Care organized around the health of whole populations: accountable care, chronic disease and prevention.
Explore
07
Construction management
Planning and managing the construction of hospitals, clinics and institutional buildings: on time, within budget and to specification.
ExploreProgrammes
Three programmes, designed with governments.
Programme models we adapt with each ministry and its partners: costed, staffed and planned for national handover from the first day.
01
Flagship initiative
Treat on the Street: the hospital that comes to you.
Most deaths from cervical cancer, breast cancer and complications of pregnancy are preventable when they are caught early. Distance is what stands in the way. Treat on the Street is our programme model for mobile hospitals on wheels that bring screening, maternal and child health, telemedicine and chronic disease care to the communities that need them most.
- Early screening for breast and cervical cancer
- Maternal, newborn and child health services
- Telemedicine links to specialists
- Chronic disease detection and follow-up
02
Maternal health and early cancer screening
Every mother safe. Every cancer caught early.
A programme model that follows women through the moments that matter most: pregnancy and birth, and the screenings that turn deadly cancers into treatable ones.
- Safe pregnancy
- Newborn and postnatal care
- Cervical cancer prevention
- Breast cancer early detection
03
National digital health records
A nation’s health, connected and sovereign.
A programme model for a national electronic medical record system linked to a central, in-country data centre, so a patient’s history follows them to any facility in any province.
- Patient identification
- Electronic medical record
- Central data centre
- Interoperability
The case for action
The gap is measurable. So is the progress.
We design against published targets, not slogans. These are the figures our programmes are built to move.

How we work
From first assessment to full handover.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined path, scaled to its size. Nothing is designed that cannot be financed, staffed and maintained.
Assess
We study the need, the facilities, the people, the money and the rules before recommending anything.
Design
Service models, staffing, budgets, technology and clinical standards, written down and costed.
Finance
We build the financing case for public budgets, insurers, development partners and private investors.
Deploy
A project office that keeps procurement, recruitment, training and launch on time and on budget.
Transfer
Local teams trained to run it, with the reporting to prove it works, and our support for as long as it is useful.
Where we work
From Dallas to the communities that need care most.
We are headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with roots in New York healthcare, and we work across the United States, from New York, Maryland and Virginia to Florida, Texas and California. Internationally we focus on sub-Saharan Africa, where we work in English and in French with governments, operators and partners.
Local time in Dallas
We reply within two business days.

Every engagement in English or in French.
What governs our work
Four commitments we make to every client.
Sovereignty by design
Systems we build belong to those who run them. Health data stays under national law and national control.
- National ownership
- In-country hosting
- No resale of identifiable data
- Open standards, no lock-in
Sustainable from day one
We cost the tenth year, not just the first: staffing, maintenance and financing that outlast the launch.
Local talent, lasting capacity
We recruit and train locally, and plan the handover from the start of every engagement.
International standards
Programmes follow World Health Organization guidance and are measured against the targets it sets.
Heritage
We have built care models from the ground up.
Our founder, M. Collins Chia, MHA, built his career in healthcare operations and management. With Miranda A. Chia, he helped design one of the first accountable care organizations in New York: hospitals, physicians and payers organized around the health of a whole population rather than the number of visits.
That experience of aligning clinical quality, data and money is the foundation of everything Chia Dex designs today.
The group
One group, shared management.
Chia Dex Ventures is the management services organization of a group of companies founded by M. Collins Chia, including Opulence LD Inc. and CFN. We provide each of them with finance, compliance, technology and operations, held to one standard.
Insights
Notes from the work.
What makes mobile health units work, and what makes them fail
Mobile clinics can bring screening and maternal care to communities far from a hospital. Five design decisions decide whether they last or end up parked.
Read moreA national health record is infrastructure. Govern it like one.
A national electronic medical record can transform continuity of care. Whether citizens trust it depends on decisions about ownership, hosting and standards made at the start.
