Description
The Health Systems Trust (HST) is committed to an equitable health system that recognises basic socio-economic needs as an important determinant of health outcomes. We are implementing a cervical cancer prevention and screening project to address the challenge of high incidence and mortality due to cervical cancer. The project adopts a Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) framework to improve access to early screening, diagnosis, treatment and palliative services in the Zululand District of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The project objective is to detect early signs of cancer among HIV-positive women and women of childbearing age (20 years and older) by conducting Pap smear screening for cervical cancer and active linkage to care. HST seeks to engage a Professional Nurse to provide technical assistance in this regard. The incumbent will mentor facility-based Nurses who are conducting screening for cervical cancer and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) ? including HIV ? on proper referral for treatment, and linking patients to Primary Health Care clinics in compliance with the project’s profile and reporting requirements. The incumbent will work closely with the Project Manager to implement evidence-based activities, review programme performance, assess and guide project outcomes and outputs, and report to funders and stakeholders. This is a fixed-term contract position.
