Public-Private Mix (PPM) Manager

 JOB TITLE Public-Private Mix (PPM) manager

ORGANIZATION DESCRIPTION:

Friends for International Tuberculosis Relief (FIT) is a registered non-profit organization working in the field of tuberculosis (TB) prevention and care service delivery, technical assistance, advocacy and research.

In collaboration with the National TB Control Program (NTP) and other local and international partners, we are building a comprehensive Search-Treat-Prevent TB program across five cities in Viet Nam (Ha Noi, Hai Phong, Hoi An, Ho Chi Minh and Can Tho). In the short term, we are aiming to 1) increase TB detection and treatment in key populations, such as household contacts, children and people visiting private healthcare providers; 2) provide social support and adherence monitoring options to improve TB treatment outcomes; and 3) scale up TB infection screening and treatment services. As part of this program, we are intensively engaging private providers who are providing TB services in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Hai Phong. TB care in the private sector often happens with little formal documentation; we are working to improve transparency and the quality of care for TB treatment in the private sector. This position will manage operations in five districts within Ha Noi.

Our organization is growing quickly, and we are searching for highly qualified, independent, experienced and motivated PPM manager. For additional information please refer to our website: www.tbhelp.org
