Taking this in to consideration, it has been decided that the migrant project in MSF Spain temporarily moves it´s activities in the quarantine canter where our direct beneficiaries are currently located. The new activities include IPC (Information, Protection & control), Mental health services and Health Promotions.

MSF staff working inside the AASTU quarantine center will be on roster and there will be 2 teams (one after the other for five weeks period) supporting and living inside the AASTU compound. Staff will be working for three weeks and will be in quarantine for another two weeks and will have paid leave for a week after. Therefore full relevant trainings, PPE (personal protection equipment), accommodation, food, internet access and reduced working hours will be provided to those MSF staff members.)

Accordingly, the HP Officer will Implement Health Promotion/IEC (Information, Education, Communication) activities with patients and all the beneficiaries (Returnees/Deportees) upon their arrival in the quarantine center supported by MSF to raise their knowledge and skills on relevant medical topics.  As a Health Promoter (HP), you will work in the Migrants projects to develop strategies to address a wide range of health issues, from sexual violence care through to Covid-19 prevention. You will play a vital role in ensuring that MSF projects are accessible and relevant to the communities they serve.
