The Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA) is an independent
medical aid organization based in Dakar, Senegal. ALIMA has three
principal areas of expertise: providing medical care in humanitarian
crises, supporting the development of national medical organizations,
and conducting operational research to bring medical innovation to the
field.
Since its creation in 2009, ALIMA has treated over 1,500,000 patients in
34 medical projects in some of the most challenging humanitarian
contexts in the world. ALIMA’s team has grown from seven co-founders to
1,500 staff, its budget from 250,000 euros to 24 million in 2015, its
network of medical partners from two to five, and its research
activities from pilot phases to conducting the first large-scale
clinical trial of anti-Ebola treatment in Guinea.
The Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA) is recruiting to fill the position below:
Job Title: Medical Activity Manager (M/F)
Location: Monguno, Borno
Context
ALIMA supports two health and nutrition projects in Borno State, in
Monguno and Maiduguri. Following a United Nations alert in May about
the dire situation of people displaced by conflict in northeastern
Nigeria, ALIMA conducted an exploratory mission in Monguno, a city in
Borno State where more than 100,000 displaced people are seeking
refuge. Working alongside the Ministry of Health, ALIMA vaccinated
children against measles. ALIMA found that more than 40% of children
were suffering from acute malnutrition, 13 % of whom were suffering from
severe acute malnutrition and at a high risk of death.
Faced with this major emergency, ALIMA deployed additional resources and
has now opened 5 clinics to provide urgent medical care to displaced
people in Monguno. ALIMA teams on the field are providing over 1,000
medical consultations per day, a figure that reveals how alarming the
health situation is and the lack of other actors in Monguno, since ALIMA
is the only INGO to cover health and nutrition at the moment for over
150,000 people, all the more that internally displaced people are
continuing to arrive in Monguno every day.
Maiduguri, the capital of Borno State, has seen its population more than
double with the influx of people displaced from other areas of the
state. Especially in Muna where about 50 000 IDP moved into the Muna
Garage camp and all around, the bad sanitarian, medical and nutritional
situation has to be addressed. ALIMA is opening a clinic by the end of
August, and already provide general consultations for children and
adults. Malnutrition cases are managed by the teams, but a larger
screening would show how numerous they really are. ALIMA plans to
enlarge its activities to provision of services for pregnant women and
capacity to take in charge victims of sexual violences. ALIMA’s teams in
Nigeria represent 15 expatriates, and planned to reach 17 by beginning
of September: 10 and soon 11 in Maiduguri/Muna, and 5 soon 6 in Monguno.
