The Viral Hepatitis (HCV) Program in Rwanda commenced its support to the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) in late 2015. The major barrier to treatment for Hepatitis C (Hep C) worldwide and in Rwanda is the extremely high cost of drugs. CHAI has been working in partnership with Rwanda Biomedical Centre (RBC) over the last several years providing strategic and operational support to the national Hepatitis program. CHAI has supported the program in developing costed strategic and operational plans, developing hepatitis guidelines, monitoring and evaluation tools to monitor and measure program performance, supported case finding efforts mainly through mass campaigns and assisted in drug price negotiations for Hepatitis C. In parallel to the support around Hepatitis C, CHAI is also supporting the Government of Rwanda in its program for the care and management of Hepatitis B (Hep B) and the implementation of the universal vaccine to prevent mother to child transmission of Hepatitis B. With CHAI’s support, Rwanda aims to eliminate Hepatitis C by 2024, by expanding access to affordable Hepatitis C medications, early diagnosis and immediate linkage to care of all eligible cases.

 

CHAI is looking to hire an associate who together with the existing team will support the hepatitis unit in RBC to implement successfully the elimination plan of Hepatitis C in Rwanda. We are seeking a highly motivated individual with outstanding credentials, analytical ability, and communication skills in order to provide critical analytical and strategic support to the program.
