How to Apply for Quality Officer

at Fortify Health

🏢 About Fortify Health

Fortify Health is a mission-driven organization focused on implementing Kangaroo Care in public healthcare facilities to reduce newborn mortality, particularly in India where 22% of global neonatal deaths occur. What makes them unique is their evidence-based approach to scaling a simple, WHO-endorsed intervention that can reduce deaths by 33%, backed by the Flourishing Minds Fund and individual donors who support their life-saving work.

About This Role

As a Quality Officer at Fortify Health, you'll ensure the effective implementation and monitoring of Kangaroo Care programs across remote healthcare facilities, directly contributing to reducing neonatal mortality by maintaining program standards. This role involves developing quality metrics, conducting remote audits, and supporting healthcare workers to overcome barriers like equipment shortages and privacy concerns in adopting this life-saving practice.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day involves analyzing compliance data from healthcare facilities implementing Kangaroo Care, conducting virtual check-ins with site coordinators to address implementation challenges, developing training materials to overcome specific barriers like privacy concerns, and updating quality dashboards to track progress toward reducing neonatal mortality rates. You'll collaborate remotely with program teams to ensure consistent application of evidence-based practices across all locations.
