Jhpiego is a non-for-profit Organization and a global leader in improving health care in developing countries to prevent the needless deaths of women and their families. Since 2008, Jhpiego has worked closely with the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Liberia to help improve the health of Liberians.Jhpiego Liberia currently implements three projects: USAID-funded STAIP, CDC-funded Enhancing Global Health Security (EGHS) and PEPFAR-HRSA-funded GR-II. The US-CDC funded EGHS project supports the MOH and NPHIL to improve prevention of preventable epidemics, including naturally occurring epidemics and those due to the intentional or accidental spread of dangerous pathogens, strengthen the ability to detect threats early, including detecting, characterizing, and reporting emerging public health threats and respond quickly and effectively to public health threats of international concern. Through the GFTA mechanism, the Jhpiego EGHS project will recruit a COVID 19 senior epidemiologist to support NPHIL and MOH in the surveillance data collection, analysis and use.   The National Public Health Institute of Liberia (NPHIL) was conceived and launched by the Government of Liberia to be the institution responsible for public health services in Liberia. NPHIL’s mission is to strengthen existing infection prevention and control efforts, laboratories, surveillance, infectious disease control, public health capacity building, response to outbreaks, and monitoring diseases with epidemic potential.   Due to the rapid and unexpected escalation of the COVID-19 pandemic in Liberia, a parallel COVID-19 surveillance, analytic, and response structure was established.  Three years later, NPHIL has indicated that integration of COVID-19 platforms into the routine integrated disease surveillance and response (IDSR) platform that NPHIL relies on for all other public health events of emergency concern is a priority consideration as the country enters the next phase of the pandemic.  Corresponding, other aspects of the COVID-19 response (such as the vaccination pillar) are being incorporated into the Ministry of Health’s routine immunization platform.   As the COVID-19 pandemic evolves, Liberia’s readiness to detect COVID-19 likely will be integrated into routine and pre-pandemic platforms for surveillance and reporting.  A more effective surveillance and testing strategy may be helpful to increase Liberia to increase its vigilance for the earliest evidence of the emergence of a new COVID-19 genetic variant of concern or a seasonal spike in COVID-19 transmissibility.  The skills of a senior public health epidemiologist who has established successful surveillance systems will benefit MOH and NPHIL in defining and standing-up COVID-19 sentinel surveillance, while also transitioning routine COVID-19 testing and surveillance reporting protocols into Liberia´s regular Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response platform. This position will be either six-month fixed term appointment or consultancy.
