PAHO/WHO is responsive to the countries' public health priorities and aligns technical cooperation to countries towards achieving regional and global health goals. PAHO/WHO helps countries to shape their health services and health research agendas, set norms and standards, evaluate, and implement evidence-based policies and monitor and assess health trends. The organization promotes health care strategies that reach people in their communities to extend health services to all and increase efficiency in the use of resources.
The PAHO/WHO Bahamas Country Office is seeking to recruit a consultant to participate as a member of a multi-disciplinary team providing technical cooperation to the countries in the areas of communicable diseases (specifically vaccine preventable diseases, respiratory diseases and neglected, tropical and vector-borne diseases); infection, prevention, and control (IPC), anti-microbial resistance (AMR), and public health emergencies. The successful achievement of the programme of work will require close collaboration and coordination among national authorities, members of PAHO/WHO country office, sub-regional and regional staff, and other stakeholders and partners. In performing these duties, the consultant will be guided by the PAHO/WHO Representative, the Organization's Strategic Plan, and its Biennial Work Plan (BWP), national strategies, and other directives regarding technical cooperation.
