HSE Global Health Programme seeks healthcare quality advisors

The HSE Global Health Programme (GHP) is seeking healthcare quality advisors as part of its work in enhancing primary healthcare services in Tanzania.

The Programme, funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and the Department of Health, works with low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) to strengthen health systems, improve the health of populations, and address health inequalities. Partner countries include Ethiopia, Mozambique, Sudan, Tanzania, and Zambia.

The HSE is seeking senior quality improvement technical consultants as part of an initiative in Tanzania aimed
at delivering a quality improvement training package to enhance primary healthcare services.

The consultants will be expected to deliver a “train the trainer” model in Tanzania in June.

“The GHP’s strategic considerations (2025-2030) are action-oriented and reflect its dual commitment to global partnerships and national health system improvement,” outlined a tender notice seeking consultants.

The programme works in partnership with countries in supporting crisis responses and mobilising essential resources, like donations.

It further embeds global health in the Irish health service by “enhancing staff training, promoting shared learning, and establishing data-driven
evaluation processes”.

Finally, the programme advocates for global health priorities and works
on leadership development and governance structures for collective global health action.

“There is a particular need for expertise in quality improvement, quality assurance (including accreditation), and health system strengthening, with an emphasis on experience in international or cross-cultural healthcare settings,” the notice stated.

“In some cases, the provision of this expertise will require in-person engagement to ensure effective implementation and support. Demonstrated experience working on programmes for, with, or within, LMICs is essential to ensure that technical support is contextually relevant, adaptable, and impactful.

“Such expertise plays a critical role in supporting partner countries to co-develop and implement evidence-based approaches that strengthen health systems, build local capacity, and deliver sustained improvements in the quality of care.”
