Ethiopia has been selected from among several countries in the African region to participate in the WHO led African Partnerships for Patient Safety (APPS) initiative. VSO Ethiopia is passionate about supporting and participating in this national priority area to promote patient safety by working closely with the WHO and the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH). This role is key in taking forward the patient safety initiative.
What does the role involve?
This is an exciting opportunity to work closely with the WHO and the Ministry of Health to:
Provide technical support to the Ministry and the pilot teaching hospital to effectively implement this ambitious initiative.
Coordinate and liaise with regional health bureaus, the piloted teaching hospitals, the Ministry and the WHO to ensure the smooth and successful implementation of the initiative.
Conduct field visits, teleconferences, and reporting mechanisms to support the implementation of the initiative.
Support the Ministry of Health and the Medical Services Directorate in the preparation and dissemination of national standards across the regional health centres .
Develop monitoring and evaluation systems and prepare progress reports.
Skills, qualifications and experience required
You'll be a registered medical doctor with experience in developing patient safety standards , including their implementation and monitoring. If you have specific training in patient safety programmes or experience of working with a Ministry of a teaching hospital, then that would be ideal! You'll need to be someone who is committed to promoting health and patient safety in contexts with limited resources. You'll be a committed, positive and flexible person who thrives in challenging environments!
And the rest...
You'll be based in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, an exuberant and hospitable city. We'll ask you to commit 24 months to make a sustainable contribution to development goals and in return we'll provide you with invaluable training before your placement, a local living allowance, return flights, accommodation and insurance. When you return to your home country we'll help you resettle and we'll invite you to stay involved with us through campaigning, development awareness raising and fundraising.
