Trocaire an international NGO with 30 years’ experience of health response in Gedo. It is now looking for the services of a gifted and energetic Pharmaceutical Officer.

Trócaire is one of Ireland’s top International INGOs, having over 45 years of experience in international Humanitarian and Development response, and has been working in Gedo since 1993. Currently Trócaire implements Health, Nutrition, Protection, WASH and Education Programme activities in 5 different districts of Gedo. Trocaire places great emphasis on empowering local communities and partners so that control and agency lie with those with whom we work.
Significant amounts of medical equipment and drugs are purchased and distributed to Trocaire supported health facilities each year. While Trocaire has a robust supply chain system in place in Gedo there is need for more technical experience around pharmaceutical drug management and a need to strengthen our support to our partner District Health Board staff in their administration of such supplies. The pharmacy officer will be responsible for the overall management of medical commodities in the Trocaire-supported health facilities and capacity building of District Health Board (DHB) staff. This will entail stock taking, needs forecasting, storage, consumption analysis, redistribution, disposal, capacity building and monthly reporting.
