Management Sciences for Health (MSH), a global health nonprofit organization, uses proven approaches developed over 40 years to help leaders, health managers, and communities in developing nations build stronger health systems for greater health impact. We work to save lives by closing the gap between knowledge and action in public health.<\/p>\n
We are recruiting to fill the position below: Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health (RMNCH) covers the health concerns and interventions involving women before, during and after pregnancy; newborns, that is, the first 28 days of life; and children up to their fifth birthday. Pregnant women have an increased susceptibility to malaria infection, and malaria in pregnancy (MiP) contributes to devastating outcomes for the pregnant woman, her fetus and newborn, including maternal anemia, maternal death, stillbirth, spontaneous abortion, and low birth weight. In Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), MiP contributes to an estimated 20% of all stillbirths and 11% of all newborn deaths.\u00b9 However, in Nigeria, malaria takes its greatest toll among children under five, responsible for 14% of all deaths.<\/p>\n Management Sciences for Health (MSH) is an international non-governmental organization that builds strong health systems that deliver everything it takes\u2014people, money, medicine, information, and facilities\u2014to prevent disease, treat illness, and empower people to lead healthier lives. For more than 45 years in over 150 countries, MSH has worked shoulder to shoulder with our partners to build strong, locally-led, health systems that improve reproductive, maternal and child health; fight infectious disease; and control chronic illness.<\/p>\n In Nigeria, MSH is a sub-recipient to Catholic Relief Services (CRS) on the Global Fund Malaria grant from January 2018 to December 2020, and will be supporting the integration of malaria services with RMNCH services. With an integrated MAL-RMNCH strategy, Nigeria may be able to achieve the Sustainable Development Goal for health (SDG 3.1) target for reduction of maternal mortality to less than 70 per 100,000 live births by 2030. With increased actions at all levels, the overall impact on maternal and child health indicators may improve.<\/p>\n Purpose and Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n The proposed strategy aims to achieve the following;<\/p>\n Specific Objectives for the integration:<\/p>\n Terms of Reference for Rmnch Consultant<\/strong><\/p>\n Deliverables:<\/p>\n Role of MSH:<\/p>\n Role of Consultant:<\/p>\n Qualifications\/Requirements<\/strong> Application Closing Date<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Management Sciences for Health (MSH), a global health nonprofit organization, uses proven approaches developed over 40 years to help leaders, health managers, and communities in developing nations build stronger health…..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[17,50],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"\n
