About the project
As part of the ‘Clinic Partnerships – Partners Strengthen Health’ initiative, financed by the Else Kröner-Fresenius Foundation (EKFS) and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), with technical support from the Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the GTP is involved in strengthening and supporting neonatological care at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital and the Kamuzu University of Health Sciences (KUHeS) in Blantyre, Malawi. In Malawi, there is only one (!) neonatologist and a few nurses who are experienced in neonatological care. By sending guest lecturers, nurses, doctors and paediatricians are to receive in-depth training in neonatal care and treatment through theoretical and practical lessons. A limited amount of missing equipment will be procured through the project. The development of treatment guidelines is part of the project.
Opportunity to work with us:
- Specialists in paediatrics and adolescent medicine, especially with a focus on neonatology
- Nursing staff with neonatological experience
- Lecturers wanted!
We look forward to receiving applications from GTP members and other specialised staff who are interested in teaching in Blantyre. Work experience abroad and in teaching is a great advantage, but not an absolute requirement.
- Assignment duration: 2-3 weeks (flexible timing)
- Requirements: Good knowledge of English is essential
- Remuneration: Accommodation and travel expenses covered
