Scope of Work for Part-time Field Supervisor
Private Sector Engagement in Public Health Response PEPHER Project
Background
Government of Vietnam has been praised by many international organizations and foreign friends for its comprehensive efforts to prevent and fight against COVID-19. However, most of previous efforts have focused only on public sector and in Hanoi, where more than 50% of cases were from. Private sector and neighboring provinces are not yet engaged.
Recently, private health facilities have been requested to report all customers who purchase medicine for cold, fever, and cough. But there lacks clear protocol, training as well as support for private sector to do so. Also, private providers often do not have adequate personal protective equipment (gloves, medical mask, hand sanitizer, etc.) and necessary medical devices for screening (digital thermometer) putting both these providers and their clients in risk of getting COVID-19. Thus, the Private Sector Engagement in Public Health Response (PEPHER) project was designed to increase private sector’s participation in minimizing COVID-19 incidence in Vietnam through promoting preventive measures and strengthening national surveillance systems.
