Job Description
Background of the project IRC is the lead health and nutrition implementing partner in Kakuma and Hagadera refugee camps, serving both Persons of Concern (POCs) and the host community with an integrated package of primary health care (PHC) services including outpatient consultations and inpatient care for communicable and non communicable diseases; provision of reproductive, maternal, newborn, child, adolescent health and gender based violence services; screening and treatment for acute malnutrition through a community approach for non-complicated cases and for those with medical complications through inpatient care in stabilization centers; and community based surveillance for diseases of public health importance and health promotion and prevention through a robust community health program at the camp level. This is delivered through the operation of ten health facilities in total in the two camps. Seven in Kakuma, which are, one level 4 - Ammusait General hospital, one Level 3 – Kapooka Main hospital and four level 2 dispensaries: Hong Kong, Locherang’amor, Nationokar and Nalemsekon and a reception center at which medical screening is done for the new arrivals. In Hagadera, three health facilities are operated by IRC: one level 4 – Hagadera hospital, and two health posts - L6 and E6 in Hagadera camp. Historically, health and nutrition service delivery in the refugee camps has been heavily donor driven with direct service delivery in line with humanitarian response guidelines. Program implementation is through siloed approaches with stand alone service delivery points for health and nutrition, an approach that has eroded integration and is quite expensive. Overtime, this is changing, starting with registration of the health facilities in the camps by the Ministry of Health, linkage to the government supply chain system for commodities under the Nutrition, HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, and family planning programs.With the proposed social integration of refugees in their host communities in line with the SHIRIKA plan, and with the elevation of Kakuma and Daadab to municipalities, there is an urgent need for a review of the health service delivery model within the camps to align it to the government plans and the Ministry of Health integrated service delivery model for both facility and community services. IRC will integrate Nutrition services within the existing health service delivery points in MCH, under 5 OPD clinics, pharmacy inlets and outlets and at community level by doing away with the stand-alone service delivery points within the health facilities. Being a new model and approach, its adoption requires a structured implementation road map to carefully manage the change process to ensure that all stakeholders involved in the transition fully understand the model and approach, their roles, and responsibilities, and fully commit to implementing it to make it a success and that implementation is monitored periodically to review progress as well as inform learning and reprogramming.
