Deadline: Friday, 10/06/2022 Consultancy Opportunity: Terms of reference for the development a curriculum and training materials on practical obstetric skills for medical doctors, nurses, and midwives Background At IntraHealth, we are a global team of creative, committed humanitarians on a mission. We are advocates, technologists, health workers, and communicators. We are passionate and diverse; and are united in our belief that everyone everywhere should have the health care they need to thrive. That-s why we work every day to improve the performance of health workers around the world and strengthen the systems in which they work. For 40 years in over 100 countries, IntraHealth has partnered with local communities to make sure health workers are present where they-re needed most, ready to do the job, connected to the technology they need, and safe to do their very best work. Our programs are designed with a deep understanding of and appreciation for the context of human rights, gender equality and discrimination, economic empowerment, and changing populations. Are you a gynecologist with experience in the development of clinical guidelines and protocols? This opportunity might be of interest to you. Scope of work The health sector in Rwanda deploys new medical doctors, midwives/nurses, and anesthetics every year. While this is a positive development, it is essential that these doctors possess minimum required practical competencies, particularly those related to safe obstetric surgery, which is not often the case. To address the competency gap, the Ministry of Health (MOH) has developed an internship program for doctors graduating from medical schools who are paired with a senior general practitioner to serve as a mentor and supervisor for one year at the hospital of their deployment to enable them acquire skills and competence related to obstetrical practices. Other medical professionals (midwives/nurses and anesthetists) are deployed to hospitals without any pre-deployment training in obstetrical practices. To strengthen the internship program for general practitioners and improve the competencies of midwives and nurses before deployment to hospitals, MSSFPO intends to support the development and operationalization of a pre-deployment course on practical obstetric skills. The course content will clearly outline benchmarks and competency levels expected of new graduates to perform safely obstetrical procedures before they can be allowed to manage patients on their own.
