IOM Helsinki is looking to recruit an Obstetrician & Gynecologist (Medical Doctor) to work in Garowe General Hospital for 16 months as a part of the MIDA FINNSOM Health Phase III project.
About the MIDA FINNSOM Health Phase III Project:
The past decades have seen continued migration from various African countries, causing "brain drain" that has debilitated various public sector systems across the continent. Implemented by IOM, Migration for Development in Africa(MIDA) projects seek to utilize the skills and knowledge of Africans living in the diaspora to rehabilitate public sector systems in their countries of origin. Through Phase III of the Institutionalizing Health Care Improvement through Temporary Returns of Somali Diaspora Health Professionals program (publicly known as MIDA FINNSOM Health), IOM and Somali diaspora health and support professionals will continue to support the rehabilitation and development of the public health sector in Puntland and Somaliland. MIDA FINNSOM Health is funded by the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland.
