Global Health Corps pairs
intelligent and passionate fellows with organizations that require new thinking
and innovative solutions. We provide these young leaders with the tools to
remain connected after their fellowship year finishes, deepening their ability
to enact change through heightened skills and strong partnerships. We currently
place fellows in Burundi, Malawi, Rwanda, Uganda, the United States, and
Zambia.
LifeNet International (LN) is a
not-for-profit organization that creates innovative solutions for the everyday
health challenges facing East Africa’s poor. In 2011, LN launched a Conversion
Franchise network to build the capacity of 10 church-based primary care clinics
in Burundi, East Africa through nurse training, management systems, growth
financing and medicine supply. We will expand to 60 clinics by year-end 2014,
and in early 2015 we will be expanding our network to Uganda to build on our
success. Our goal is to improve clinical performance by 50% within the first 12
months of partnership, across all core functions ranging from nursing care to
financial management. We impact our clinic partners in four general categories:
nursing basics, financial/management consulting, pharmaceutical supply, and
loans for equipment. LN aims to make significant and sustainable improvements
in the health of Uganda’s poor through a clinical network of 10 health
facilities in 2015. We want to replicate and improve upon the successes and
lessons learned in Burundi, with a focus on establishing our medical training
and management consulting programs with new partners in Uganda.
Job Summary: The

clinical best practices. Building on that, the fellow will take the lead in
