Technical lead on policy development themes within the UK in Somalia Ending Preventable Deaths Action Plan (35%):
- Lead on policy thinking on the private/commercial sector in health delivery to support Ending Preventable Deaths – what are the potential models appropriate to Somalia for increased private sector service delivery of maternal, newborn and child health services; how could these be aligned with and feed into the gov-led public healthcare system; what is the role of government to regulate and enable?
