VAC-12067 Clinical Specialist Multiple Locations (Sudan Response)

Established in 1951, IOM is the leading inter-governmental Organization in the field of migration and works

closely with governmental, intergovernmental, and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to

promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice

to governments and migrants. IOM in Libya assists in providing medical services to vulnerable migrants,

IDPs, and vulnerable host populations, especially in detention centres and at disembarkation points and

organizing community outreach services for stranded migrants.

The Sudan crisis that started in mid-April 2023 has caused many Sudanese people to flee within Sudan and

to neighboring countries, such as Libya. The latest DTM report (April 2024) reveals the arrival of Sudanese

migrants in Alkufra, Tobruk and Ejdabia, and other areas of the country. The initial results of the evaluation

carried out by IOM and other UN agencies have highlighted the urgent need for enhancing the access to

health services (from primary to specialized) in those areas, where the health system is already weak and

cannot meet the health service need. IOM aims to provide timely medical services to the migrants by

deploying medical teams (consisting of a doctor and a nurse), specialists (for regular outreach activities

and helping static facilities to offer specialized care and support to migrants) and surveillance teams in

enhancing disease surveillance and response capacity of the Libyan MOH.

The “Clinical Specialist” will work under the overall technical guidance of the Field Health Coordinator

(Tripoli) and the direct supervision of the Clinical Supervisor (east) and complete the tasks as listed in
