Job Description
 PRISM 2 Program Overview .
The PRISM2 project aims to assist the Philippines Department of Health, the Department of Labor and Employment, and local government units to engage and mobilize private-sector resources in the delivery of family planning and maternal and child health services and products. The project has three main focal areas:
  • Increase and sustain private-sector provision of high-quality family planning and maternal and child health services and products.
  • Increase the use of private-sector family planning and maternal and child health services and products.
  • Improve the policy environment for private-sector provision of services and products.
As part of the PRISM2 Project we are proposing conducting an operations research study in the Philippines. This study is intended to generate evidence to help policymakers and planners make informed decisions regarding the safety, acceptability, and feasibility of using oxytocin in the Uniject™ injection system (oxytocin in Uniject) at the facility and community level for prevention and management of postpartum hemorrhage (PPH).
 Oxytocin in Uniject is a prefilled injection system that contains 10 IU of oxytocin and is being considered as a potential intervention for the prevention and treatment of PPH. The Uniject technology allows for administration of drugs or vaccines in a single-dose, prefilled, non-reusable and sterile injection. Its expected core benefits include simplifying service delivery and improving safety and quality of the oxytocin administered for the prevention of PPH. Efforts will focus on improving the evidence base around impact on services of the introduction of oxytocin in Uniject.
PRISM2 is seeking a consultant to support the project and its partners in implementing a study around assessment of the feasibility and acceptability of oxytocin in Uniject for the prevention and management of PPH. The Clinical Study Coordinator will serve as a core member of the project’s study team. The study coordinator will be responsible for supporting all aspects of the day-to-day management of the study under the overall guidance of the PRISM2 team, with input from the PATH Senior Newborn Maternal and Child Health Specialist.
