Overview

The Clinton Health Access Initiative Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

Over the following two decades CHAI has expanded its focus. Today along with HIV we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19 malaria tuberculosis and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer diabetes hypertension and other non-communicable diseases and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines reduce maternal and child mortality combat chronic malnutrition and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health digital health and health financing. With each new and innovative program our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale ensuring that governments lead the solutions that programs are designed to scale nationally and learnings are shared globally.

Program Overview :

The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) and the World Health Organization-led National Polio Surveillance Project (NPSP) began in 1997 to support Indias polio eradication efforts. After achieving that goal in 2014 the network broadened its focus to include active and passive population-based and case-based surveillance of other vaccine-preventable diseases (VPDs) such as diphtheria measles rubella pertussis and neonatal tetanus. Today it remains the most reliable source of VPD case incidence data in the country.

NPSPs complete transition to the Government of India is underway in a phased manner and is expected to conclude by 2027. The Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme (IDSP) under the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has been designated to take over the functions currently managed by NPSP. Established in 2004 IDSP tracks more than 33 infectious diseases and conditions through near real-time case-based reporting on the Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP).

The planned integration of the National Polio Surveillance Network into the existing IDSP will be carried out comprehensively and responsibly to maintain the high standards of data quality investigation and sample collection that NPSP is known for. The initiative will ensure continued effectiveness in monitoring VPDs especially for measles and rubella elimination and polio eradication with a strong focus on capacity building and strategic oversight at both national and sub-national levels. Through this transition the programme will support Indias long-term health security goals leveraging government partnerships community engagement and cutting-edge innovations.

Project Background :

WJCF is privileged to support IDSP NCDCs vision for a sustainable transition of the existing VPD surveillance network through an embedded program management unit (PMU) model at the Central Surveillance Unit (CSU). The PMU will work under the direct supervision of NCDC MoHFW leadership to facilitate the achievement of key strategic goals :

• Smooth transition of all functions related to VPD surveillance from WHOs VPD surveillance network to IDSP in a time-bound manner.
• Enhance sustainable leadership management and technical capacity of IDSP-NCDC and consequently the state IDSP units for maintaining the appropriate standards for VPD surveillance by evidence-informed programmatic financial and policy decision-making.
• Trigger development and comprehensive implementation of newer strategies implementation frameworks and approaches for further building on the gains achieved thus far.
• Increase and sustain multisectoral responses advocacy and political momentum towards elimination goals.

Position Summary :

We are seeking a highly self-driven individual with a ubiquitous skill set of technical capabilities complemented by excellent communication and critical thinking abilities. Lead advocacy and communications by developing reports knowledge products and visibility materials while coordinating with ministries donors and professional associations. By sustaining political momentum and stakeholder alignment this role helps secure the visibility and cross-sectoral collaboration required for this projects remit.
