PATH is a global nonprofit dedicated to achieving health equity. With more than 40 years of experience forging multisector partnerships, and with expertise in science, economics, technology, advocacy, and dozens of other specialties, PATH develops and scales up innovative solutions to the world’s most pressing health challenges.
Ukraine has one of the highest tuberculosis (TB) disease burdens in Europe and Eurasia. Three main factors fuel the epidemic: numerous TB strains resistant to multiple drugs; growing rates of HIV infection, which makes people especially vulnerable to developing TB disease; and setbacks to the health system during years of political, social, and economic transition.
PATH has been providing technical assistance to Ukraine’s TB control efforts since 2001. In close collaboration with local, national, and international partners, we’re expanding the reach of the End TB strategy -- the internationally recommended strategy for TB control. In addition, we’ve also worked to increase services for people with TB and HIV to reduce the stigma and discrimination surrounding these conditions.
PATH is currently seeking a Program Assistant for its TB control activities to be carried out in Ukraine under the Support TB Control Efforts in Ukraine (STBCEU) Project funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development. Also, PATH looks forward to executing TB diagnosis and treatment components to improve the prevention, detection, and treatment of TB and drug-resistant tuberculosis through technical assistance in harmony with international best practices and national guidelines.
The Program Assistant will work closely with the PATH Ukraine Country Program STBCEU team, and with national and regional stakeholders to ensure the successful project implementation. Duties may require domestic travel up to 50% time and a flexible work schedule to permit for either early morning or late evening teleconference calls or assignments.
This position is funded through July 31, 2023. Employment after that date is subject to the availability of funds.
