Feb 9, Medecins Sans Frontieres Anaesthesiologist Jobs in Kenya

MSF anaesthetists are teachers and trainers, and are there to help people manage pain in sometimes unbearable circumstances.

The role of an MSF anaesthetist is incredibly varied: you might find yourself training local staff in the middle of a refugee camp hospital or managing anaesthesia with very basic resources for complex obstetric surgeries – all in the course of a day.

Our anaesthetists often work across various departments; supporting surgery, maternity and going wherever else they are needed.

As an anaesthetist you would be responsible for ordering and managing materials to manage the anaesthesia needs of an entire hospital, mentoring and support for local staff learning basic anaesthesia, planning and implementing anaesthesia management training workshops. You will also support pain management for all departments in the hospital/health centre.

Proven experience in anaesthetics – experience of paediatric and obstetric anaesthesia is particularly useful

Full registration (doctors without this will need to provide a transcript of training, from a recognised training faculty and proof of original registration in the country they are registered in)

Minimum of three months travel or work experience in developing countries

Ability to work in unstable environments

Qualifications

You will find it helpful to have done other medical jobs – time spent in casualty and paediatrics departments will be especially relevant
