MSF gynecologists work in close coordination with other members of both the expatriate and national team (nurses, midwives, lab technicians, etc.).

Among other things, MSF gynecologists’ responsibilities include attending to planned and emergency obstetric surgery, complicated births, and doing post-operative follow-up together with the anesthetists.

Clinical skills and problem-solving capacity are vital for coping with the shortcomings in infrastructures. A major component of our gynecologist’s work is the supervision and training of national staff.

Minimum requirements:

• Degree in medicine and completed residency in gynecology and obstetrics.
• Medical registration.
• At least two years’ work experience, including experience in surgery.
• Ability to work with limited resources, in difficult conditions (high insecurity context) and under pressure.
• Good level of English (minimum B2)
• Minimum availability of three months, although preferably for longer.
• Basic IT skills.

Desired requirements:

• Field experience with other NGOs.
• Knowledge of French, Arabic, Spanish and/or Portuguese.
• Experience in supervising, managing and training of staff.

What we offer:

• Preparatory course before leaving to the field.
• Legal contract for the duration of the mission
• The gross basic salary is approximately €1,300 per month during the first 12 months of missions (except for candidates already having 24 months of international experience with other NGOs). The salary is regularly reviewed according to the length of time in the organization and the experience acquired.
• The chance to develop professionally in an international organization. A profile manager from the HR department will monitor your professional development (career path, training, etc.) within the organization.
• The opportunity to contribute to our objective of saving lives, alleviating suffering and helping those most in need.
