Strategy Analyst–Guinea 353 views0 applications


The Role

Are you a self-starter with demonstrated knowledge of the Guinean health system? Do you excel at systematic research and relationship-building? Do you believe health is a human right, and are inspired to make healthcare systems work for all? If so, you may be our next Strategy Analyst for Guinea. Reporting to the Chief Partnership Officer and working closely with members of the senior leadership team, you will have the opportunity to support the expansion of Integrate Health’s mission to make quality primary healthcare accessible to all.

Your motivation, professionalism, and clear communication skills will be critical to supporting Integrate Health in their exploration of opportunities to continue to drive high-quality primary healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa.

This role is a three-month contract position (starting as soon as possible) with the possibility of extension.

About Integrate Health

Integrate Health (IH) is a rapidly growing global health organization working to serve communities in West Africa and New York. We believe that access to healthcare is a human right, and we are committed to making this a reality in the countries in which we work. IH works alongside governments and the local community to implement and study an integrated approach to strengthening primary healthcare delivery in order to achieve universal health coverage. By integrating professional Community Health Workers with improved care in public clinics, this approach creates a patient-centered health system that is accountable to the community and dramatically reduces mortality in severely resource-limited settings. Over the past five years, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, IH has expanded its proven approach to serve nearly 200,000 people across northern Togo. IH is now posed to effectively support the government to leverage this success to ensure high-quality primary healthcare delivery at national scale and explore opportunities beyond Togo.

IH’s work in Togo demonstrates that high quality-healthcare is possible, everywhere. IH is determined to work in places that have been left off of the strategic map of other INGOs and donor countries. We know that health for all will remain an aspiration until the most marginalized, hardest-to-reach communities are included in the solution. Half of the world’s population, 3.8 billion people, lacks access to essential health services. Given this urgent need inside and beyond Togo’s borders, IH is compelled to expand our geographic footprint to a second African country. IH aims to support government and civil society organizations in a new geography to replicate, study, and scale key innovations in primary healthcare.

In 2004, Integrate Health formerly known as Hope Through Health was founded in partnership with a dynamic group of individuals living with HIV. At that time, HIV was a death sentence. Yet these resilient activists refused to accept that their right to health was denied simply because of where they lived. We chose to fight alongside them. Thanks in part to our work to build and scale one of the most effective HIV care programs in Togo, HIV is no longer a death sentence it is a manageable chronic disease.

Despite this success, primary healthcare is still not widely available in Togo. One in ten children born in Togo will die before their fifth birthday because they have no access to healthcare. The systems we built for HIV have failed to be integrated throughout the country. Our challenge is to integrate health into every community and clinic. Our vision is for a world where everyone, everywhere has access to high-quality healthcare. We believe that integration is an essential component in making that happen.

We are a highly efficient, data-driven organization that remains community-led and committed, above all, to having the greatest possible impact for our patients. To do this, we integrate Community Health Workers with improved health clinic to deliver high quality primary care to our patient’s front door. We integrate our programs with those that are government run to achieve scale and sustainability. We integrate our services into community structures to go deeper and address underlying social determinants of health to enable patients to live healthier lives. And, we integrate our patients into the design and management of our programs to ensure they are responsive to the actual needs on the ground. We believe that integration is our path to achieving health for all.
