They help Ministries of Health design policies, develop innovative ways to finance healthcare, and co-design programs to deliver high impact, low-cost community health.

Key to achieving this will be to get governments to adopt digital health solutions that will enable these Governments to more efficiently and effectively manage their community health programs. That’s where you come in. As Senior Manager for Digital Health Partnerships, you will work with the rest of the CHST to identify and pursue opportunities to support government in existing and potential expansion countries, and, to design context-appropriate solutions and lead implementation of the same.

You will be needed to support program design and help inform training and technical assistance to build the capacity of governments to implement and own their digital health systems.

• Implementation. Using the Tech Project Management skills, you will develop detailed project goals, plans, resources, and budgets for digital health projects, lead project implementation, and manage and monitor project risks.
