The ongoing Ebola epidemic in West Africa has been a wake-up call to the need for strengthened health systems in the developing world. It’s not surprising, then, that one of the United Kingdom’s largest development consultancies is on the lookout for talent in the global health sector.
Crown Agents, which is currently growing its health systems strengthening capacity, is hiring talent with medical or pharmaceutical backgrounds as well as people with project management experience in health-related subjects such as maternal health or HIV and AIDS.
“We’ve got a number of large health-strengthening projects around the world, and that’s a team we’re actively growing and we’re recruiting for at all levels,” Crown Agents’ Director of Human Resources Ann Saunders revealed in an interview with Devex. “We’ve got a very strong record in setting up for ministries of health in countries like Botswana or Zambia.”
