About Last Mile Health
Last Mile Health saves lives in the world's most remote communities. Our vision is a health worker within reach of everyone, everywhere. We partner with governments to recruit, train, equip, and integrate professional community health workers into national health systems, equipping them to deliver quality primary care in rural and remote communities. Founded in Liberia in 2007, we now operate programs in Ethiopia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Malawi. Our global offices are located in Accra, Ghana, and in the United States.
We are looking for mission-driven leaders to join us as we work to ensure no patient is out of reach.
About the Liberia Team
Partnering with the Ministry of Health since 2007, the Liberia team pioneered the community health worker model that serves as a national blueprint. Originating in the remote Konobo District, their work demonstrated that professional community health workers could drastically increase health-seeking behavior and improve health outcomes, increasing skilled birth attendance from 55% to 84%.
Led by Brittney Varpilah, the team champions a supervised, salaried, supplied, and skilled workforce to deliver primary care in the country’s hardest-to-reach regions. Beyond delivery, they strengthen health systems through high-level advocacy and policy design while upskilling the workforce through rigorous training and continuous quality improvement.
The Role
At Last Mile Health, we are all stewards of our reputation and resources. Do you have extensive experience and a proven track record of coordinating project rollouts, providing technical support for community-based family planning services, and collaborating with county and district health teams? If so, then you may be our next Project Coordinator, Scaling Sayana Press.
Working in partnership with the Ministry of Health (MOH), County Health Teams (CHTs), and District Health Teams, the Project Coordinator will help translate the approved project design, national family planning guidance, commodity tracking and processes, and service delivery protocols into consistent delivery across eight counties (Bong, Grand Bassa, Lofa, Margibi, Nimba, Rivercess, Montserrado and Bomi).
The Project Coordinator will promote equitable access, service delivery quality, reliable commodity availability, accurate data, continuous learning, and government ownership. The position will improve family planning availability for approximately 42,000 women and adolescent girls in rural and hard-to-reach communities covering 70% of the national population living more than 5km from the nearest health facility
About Scaling Suyana Press Project
Sayana Press is an all-in-one presentation of subcutaneous depot medroxyprogesterone acetate (DMPA-SC), an injectable contraceptive administered every three months. Liberia has used community-based provision of Sayana Press to bring voluntary family planning closer to women and adolescent girls who face long travel times and limited access to health facilities.
The LMH-supported scale-up will strengthen and use existing MOH training, supervision, and supply chain systems to improve timely access to Sayana Press for more than 42,000 women and girls in rural and remote communities.
