YRGMERF

Set up in 1993, YRGMERF is one of India's leading non-governmental organisations working to improve health outcomes for people who are often left out of the health system. It brings together direct healthcare, partnerships with government and communities, and research that shapes better practice. Its work covers prevention, care, support and treatment, with deep experience in HIV and other infectious diseases. The organisation works on both today's health problems and the recent ones that are emerging. This role sits within YRGMERF's infectious disease surveillance project in Karnataka, which helps communities and government health staff spot and respond to disease threats early.

Role

The District Coordinator is the person who makes this project work on the ground. Every block visit, every community meeting, every skilling session,



every conversation with a PHC Medical Officer and every disease alert followed up either happens through the District Coordinator or because the District Coordinator made it happen. The project builds a community-based surveillance model linked to the National Centre for Disease Control's Integrated Health Information Platform (IHIP) and the Integrated Disease Surveillance Programme, so that groups like Self-Help Groups and Mahila Arogya Samitis can report early warning signs of disease. This is not a desk job: about 70 to 80% of the time is spent in the field across blocks, sub-centres, villages and PHCs, and the rest at the district headquarters for government meetings, data work and reporting.

Responsibilities

Map existing resources at the block level, giving special attention to areas that have reported animal-borne diseases in the last three years, and lead the block level landscaping report with support from the state and national teams.
