Responsibilities
The frame for medical support inside OCG, leading to further emphasize the role of the Operations Department in the following key areas:
· In relation to the general responsibilities for programme management, identifying the strategic medico-operational priorities in order to adapt support and coordinate necessary expertise.
· Providing a direct medical support to field teams. It relies, on the mastering and implementation of fundamentals, the creation of practical tools, on-site mentoring and capacity building.
· Bringing immediate medical solutions to project teams, without specific development needed and within the frame of basic competences and fundamentals.
· Creating a better integrated work between Operation and the Medical Departments, through collaborative work platforms as RMP's weekly forum and proactive cooperation, focusing on precise medico operational challenges, selection of standards, and improvement of practices.
Towards the coordination and the cell:
· Ensures the medical pertinence and adequacy of the projects with the MedCo
· Matches the medical & institutional ambitions with the operational reality and needs in the field (adaptability, feasibility)
· Contributes to the development of medical policies and strategies by sharing context-specific experiences and by checking their field adequacy.
· Support the missions in the development of a medical advocacy and/or Operational research agenda

- He/she follows-up the monitoring of the medical activities and provides medical follow-up for projects through systematic analysis, feedback on sitreps, quarterly and annual reports and regular project visits.
- Supervises field analysis of the epidemiological context of the countries under his/her charge.
- Participates in the capitalising of field experiences and technical support needs (lessons learned), identifying the obstacles to good medical practices in the projects and promotes or puts forward proposals for innovative technical tools in order to facilitate medical work.
