Announcement Description

The Ministry of Health (MOH) and its partners launched the Health Equity and Quality Improvement project H-EQIP in 2016 with the aim to improve performance and quality of health services for targeted population groups and to protect them against health-spending induced impoverishment. H-EQIP responds to the aspirations of the Royal Government to improve performance of public sector services, namely the Policy on Public Service Delivery and the Health Strategic Plan-3 (2016-2020) and builds on the achievements made in previous health sector programs.

Under the H-EQIP the Payment Certification Agency (PCA) monitors and verifies the operation and expenses of the Health Equity Fund and Service Delivery Grants of health purchasers, health providers and health users in accordance with the MOH policy for health equity and quality improvement. In addition, the National Quality Enhancement Process (NQEP) has been rolled out to reach the national coverage of 1,200 health centers and all 121 referral and provincial hospitals. Staff at the Quality Assurance Office (QAO) are engaged in the improvement of quality assessment scores and technical competencies of health facilities and the functioning of an ICT system for conducting quality assessments.

To support the institutional development and capacity building of the PCA and QAO, we are looking for a public health expert on data management and analysis with extensive experience in data analysis and reporting preferably in the health sector.
