at Muso

🏢 About Muso

Muso is a unique healthcare organization that focuses on community-based approaches to improve health outcomes in Mali, specifically working to eliminate delays in healthcare access. Unlike typical tech companies, Muso combines technology with grassroots community health worker programs to deliver care directly to patients' homes. This mission-driven environment offers the opportunity to use IT skills to directly impact healthcare delivery in underserved regions.

About This Role

You'd likely spend time documenting IT processes, collaborating on security policy updates, and working on Power Automate flows to streamline healthcare data collection from community health workers.
