Job: Dignitas International seeks Program Manager, Canada
Closing date: 15 February 2010
Dignitas International is a medical non-government organisation founded by a team of global health and research specialists. The premise on which Dignitas was founded is that resource-intensive, physician-led approaches to the provision of HIV/AIDS-related services are not viable in many developing world countries that struggle with a severe lack of healthcare capacity. The mission of Dignitas is to increase access to prevention, treatment, care and support for people affected by HIV/AIDS, and to develop tools and guidelines for a sustainable healthcare delivery approach that can be disseminated quickly and cost-effectively throughout Malawi and to other resource-limited contexts across the globe.
Dignitas meets these goals by implementing programs, developing evidence-based models through operations research and knowledge translation, and disseminating community-based approaches through operational support and technical assistance. Program implementation increases access for individuals affected by HIV through the decentralization of care from hospitals to health centres and down to communities. This process includes health systems integration, task shifting among healthcare workers, and the training and integration of community-health workers. Operations research and vigorous monitoring and evaluation are used to refine and validate tools and guidelines developed to support the dissemination of community-based approaches.
