Job Description

Background: The Ethiopian healthcare system is increasingly facing a range of complex issues that need innovative solutions to expand access and deliver high-quality healthcare services, while controlling costs.

These pressures will only increase as the country seeks to implement universal health coverage (UHC), and achieve the Sustainable Development Goal 3: “to ensure healthy lives and promote wellbeing for all at all ages” by 2030.

Hence, Ministry of Health is increasingly looking for innovative partnerships and contracting models to finance and deliver care.

Following the recent expansion in engagement with the private sector by the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development (MoFEC) as one way for government institutions to implement their programs, Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) has identified PPPs as a key mechanism to improve access, efficiency and quality of health services that are currently offered at public facilities.

CHAI is currently carrying out a wide range of programs to support the Ministry of Health and Ethiopian Health Insurance Agency in improving access to and the quality of health services.

As one of CHAI’s largest field offices with more than 160 staff, the Ethiopia Office operates programs across: maternal, newborn and child health; Child Survival; HIV/AIDS; Cancer; woreda transformation; Laboratory Service; vaccines; HRH and health financing.

The health financing program aims to transform how the health system is financed to substantially and sustainably increase access to services, beginning with essential services for those most in need.

To pilot the PPP approach and address key health system challenges, CHAI is providing technical support to FMOH to design and implement a PPP pilot program in public hospitals and health centers in Addis Ababa.

When proven successful, the pilot initiative will be rolled out at scale throughout the country. The PPP initiative will be pilot tested in five clinical and non-clinical departments: laboratory and pathology, imaging, laundry and equipment sterilizations, and pre-hospital services.

By partnering with the private sector, FMoH aims to achieve the following objectives:

Enable public health facilities to better manage their resources efficiently

Reduce cost of services resultant from economies of scale by centralizing delivery of some services

Minimize service interruptions by creating parallel or backup systems

Reduce OOP spending due to referral to private facilities
