Pretoria, South Africa Clinton Health Access Initiative Full time

Overview:
The Clinton Health Access Initiative, Inc. (CHAI) is a global health organization committed to our mission of saving lives and reducing the burden of disease in low-and middle-income countries. We work at the invitation of governments to support them and the private sector to create and sustain high-quality health systems.

CHAI was founded in 2002 in response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic with the goal of dramatically reducing the price of life-saving drugs and increasing access to these medicines in the countries with the highest burden of the disease. Over the following two decades, CHAI has expanded its focus. Today, along with HIV, we work in conjunction with our partners to prevent and treat infectious diseases such as COVID-19, malaria, tuberculosis, and hepatitis. Our work has also expanded into cancer, diabetes, hypertension, and other non-communicable diseases, and we work to accelerate the rollout of lifesaving vaccines, reduce maternal and child mortality, combat chronic malnutrition, and increase access to assistive technology. We are investing in horizontal approaches to strengthen health systems through programs in human resources for health, digital health, and health financing. With each new and innovative program, our strategy is grounded in maximizing sustainable impact at scale, ensuring that governments lead the solutions, that programs are designed to scale nationally, and learnings are shared globally.**Team Overview**

CHAI’s Access Program approaches some of the most pressing issues in global health with a business-oriented strategy to fundamentally change the underlying economics. By addressing global market failures and accelerating access to the most effective, high-quality health products at affordable and sustainable prices, CHAI helps patients access the care and treatment they need. CHAI’s strategy to combat TB in South Africa is to identify more patients, diagnose earlier, and treat with the best available regimens, such that more lives are saved, and transmission is interrupted.

**Position Overview**

The Technical Advisor will primarily focus on efforts to accelerate access to novel screening and diagnostic devices (mainly on ultraportable digital chest x-rays) for TB. This will involve engagement with the South African Health Products Regulatory Authority (SAHPRA) as well as global stringent regulatory authorities, in addition to other key senior global and local TB stakeholders, including the South African National TB Programme.

CHAI places great value on relevant personal qualities: resourcefulness, humility, responsibility, tenacity, independence, and work ethic. The position may require limited travel, dependent on project needs. The Technical Advisor will be based in Pretoria, South Africa and will report to the SA TB Access Manager.

**Responsibilities**:

- Provide strategic guidance to the TB Access team, including the development of annual work plans and translating objectives from government, donors, and partners into actionable plans.
- Oversee and manage the development of regulatory guidelines for dCXR / CAD and on the use of ultra-portable devices in South Africa, which will address pertinent issues such as the safety of provider and patient; quality; performance; traceability of products and risk-benefit assessment protocols
- Lead engagements with regulatory authority teams (locally and globally) to understand the current landscape for ultraportable x-ray devices, develop a suitable framework for data collection, review and build relationships with relevant bodies (e.g. HPCSA, Radiological Society etc.), including management of relevant technical working group meetings
- Develop recommendations for the broader set of next steps to inform decisions around national scale-up of novel and ultra-portable dCXR implementation models
- Oversee the design, implementation, and assessment of intervention strategies, including protocol development, data collection, and programme performance review. Support provision of feedback to the DoH and donors on progress against targets.
- Lead the development and maintenance of M&E frameworks to provide credible, actionable, and timely information. Conduct routine data analysis and report progress to CHAI leadership and donors.
- Document programme activities, share best practices through case studies and publications, and prepare presentations, analyses and reports for donor, stakeholder engagements and to inform local, regional and global policy and increase the evidence base.
- Participate in global and local disease team discussions/ meetings to ensure coordination and leverage cross-country collaborations and best practice sharing from the regulatory point of view
- Manage and establish relationships with the DoH, suppliers, and partner organisations. Ensure alignment and coordination of activities across government and partner stakeholders, including other CHAI programmes in South Africa, to achieve successful
