Sudan: 14-902 Senior Health Coordinator, Sudan
Closing date: 26 Mar 2015
BACKGROUND
International Medical Corps, a global humanitarian nonprofit organization dedicated to saving lives and relieving suffering through health care training and relief and development programs, seeks candidates for the position of Senior Health Coordinator for our programs in Sudan.
Established in 1984 by volunteer doctors and nurses, International Medical Corps is a private, voluntary, nonpolitical, nonsectarian organization. Its mission is to improve the quality of life through health interventions and related activities that build local capacity in underserved communities worldwide. By offering training and health care to local populations and medical assistance to people at highest risk, and with the flexibility to respond rapidly to emergency situations, International Medical Corps rehabilitates devastated health care systems and helps bring them back to self-reliance.
The ongoing humanitarian crisis in Darfur has uprooted millions of people, disrupted fragile health care systems and prevented families from returning to their homes and livelihoods. Since 2004, International Medical Corps has worked through challenging conditions to provide essential medical care, implement nutrition programs, restore water delivery and sanitation systems and provide support to the Ministry of Health through health system strengthening activities. By emphasizing education and training of community members, civil society organizations, and local health care professionals, we give communities the tools to move from relief towards self-reliance, and to rebuild their futures.
