Job Description

The Health Services Manager will be responsible for leading and coordinating the medical and programmatic implementation of a three-year, Gavi-funded health program in Uganda. The initiative, implemented by Elucid in collaboration with the Ugandan Ministry of Health, aims to improve vaccination uptake, strengthen quality of care, and enhance healthcare access among underserved rural farming communities. The Health Services Manager will oversee clinical service delivery, vaccination outreach, and quality improvement efforts in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, District Health Teams, and Elucid’s local and international partners. The Medical Program Manager will work closely with the Program Manager (responsible for financial inclusion and co-payment components) to ensure seamless integration between clinical, logistical, and financial access activities.

Specifically, you will lead:

  • The planning, implementation, and monitoring of the three project pillars (above)
  • within the intervention zones.
  • The integration of rigorous data use and digital tools to improve performance, guide activities, and ensure accountability.

  • Optimize the equipment and infrastructure of targeted health facilities.
  • Ensure the quality of primary services related to vaccination and essential care.
  • Establish and facilitate Quality Improvement Teams (QITs) / quality teams in health facilities.
