Obstetricians and gynaecologists

We urgently need experienced obstetricians and gynaecologists to help make motherhood safer for disadvantaged women and their babies.

Roles are generally longer term, ranging from one to two years, but we also have occasional short-term assignments for up to six months. Currently we have several shorter-term roles based in Ethiopia.

You’ll need to be a registered obstetrician or gynaecologist with at least three years’ post-registration experience (usually five years experience in the case of short-term roles).
