Health Promoter

vor 3 Wochen

Geneve, Schweiz Medecins Sans Frontieres Vollzeit

As a Health Promoter (HP), you will work in projects to develop strategies to address a wide range of health issues, from sexual violence care through to Ebola prevention. You will provide a direct link to the community outside the walls of the hospital, and will play a vital role in ensuring that MSF projects are accessible and relevant to the communities they serve.

It gives me a lot of pleasure, after I’ve had a little chat with the women, when someone gives me a hug and says thank you for listening to me. This shows people that you can empathise with them, that you’re here for them, that you understand them. Marie Ange Saidy, MSF Lebanon
