of a dotted-line relationship.

For this purpose, you will be responsible for : Strategy: Working alongside the Head of Mission and
cooperating closely with the Head Office Medical Department, you will contribute to the development
of new medical initiatives for the mission. You will carry out epidemiological monitoring for the country

The challenges that await you :

- National team: remote management before even meeting national colleagues - Junior team in Mokha
that needs lots of support - Authorities: 1) in the North, SCMCHA (Houthis coordination body) have
illogical requests and MoPHP more interested in the budget than in the project's activities - NSA present
everywhere 2) In the South: key MoPHP representatives rather corrupt. - Security: volatile, could stay
unchanged for a long time, but could change in worse at any time in Hodeidah and Mokha.

A word from the manager

« If you are a dynamic Med Co - if you can be patient and calm when you are confronted with irrational
requests or statements from the MoPHP and other Authorities - if you feel galvanized by daily
unexpected challenges - if you enjoy working with an experienced, committed and motivated national
team - if you feel that your duty is to support and encourage national female colleagues - and if on top
