****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 ****Project Manager****for our programs in the Raja County Hospital in South 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.
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, as well as neighboring areas of the Central African Republic and Darfur, Sudan in the North. Due to the long distance and unreliable transportation to Wau Teaching Hospital (a 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.
