Who's hiring in the health sector and what are they paying?

Since Jan. 24, we have explored the deep impact of the Trump administration’s policies and funding cuts, and one of the most crucial areas affected is global health. Despite this, there are still a relatively large number of employment opportunities in the sector.

Data from the Devex job board showed a total of 3,086 jobs posted from Jan. 1, 2025, onward, with opportunities across different locations and organization types such as multilateral agencies, international NGOs, and philanthropic organizations.
