PROGRAM BACKGROUND
Raja County hospital is the only hospital in Western Bhar El Ghazal state, South Sudan. It is the sole provider of clinical services to the county and neighboring areas of Central African Republic and Darfur in the North. Due to long distance and unreliable transportation to Wau Teaching hospital (level 2 hospital), most patients are unable to complete the referral to the state hospital. The facility like many others in resource limited areas has low human resource capacity that poses a challenge to its effective delivery of quality patient care. To improve the quality of patient care, IMC is supporting the State Ministry of Health to train and build capacity of the management, clinicians, nurses, midwives and other staff in the hospital. IMC is looking for a Project Manager to join the IMC team in Raja County to provide leadership to the project.
