About the FADM READY program

FADM READY is Fundação Ariel Glaser's military health program, operating in partnership with the Ministry of Health (MISAU), the National Directorate of Military Health (DNSM) under the Ministry of National Defense, and the Military Health Department of the General Staff of the FADM (DSM-EMG/FADM), with international funding from DHAPP/DoD.

The program provides specialized technical advisory, in-service training, and operational innovation across the Defense sector health facility network — hospitals, health centers, military medical posts, and training centers — benefiting military personnel, military dependents, and surrounding communities.

It is designed as a temporary acceleration, mentoring, quality, and skill transfer mechanism for the FADM — not a parallel system: the progressive ownership of clinical governance belongs to the permanent Military Health structures.

What you will do

As Technical Director, you are primarily responsible for the technical coherence of FADM READY: you will lead the multidisciplinary technical team, harmonize service packages with MISAU guidelines and DHAPP/DoD requirements, and serve as a high-level technical liaison to Military Health, MISAU, and the donor.

• Lead the overall technical strategy of FADM READY, aligned with the approved Workplan, national MISAU guidelines, DHAPP/DoD requirements, and Military Health priorities.
• Ensure functional integration among HIV/TB, combination prevention, HTS, adherence, MNCH/PMTCT/CACUM, pharmacy, laboratory, strategic information, CQI, and transition, preventing fragmentation across technical areas.
• Coordinate the adaptation of standard operating procedures to the realities of military hospitals, medical posts, field infirmaries, training centers, and hard-to-reach units.
• Lead the improvement of the HIV/TB cascade: targeted testing, immediate ART initiation, retention, viral suppression, TB screening, TPT/3HP, AHD management, and referral of complex cases.
• Ensure the incorporation of MNCH, PMTCT, EID, CECAP/CACUM, sexual and reproductive health interventions and, where applicable, IPTp and syndromic malaria screening into routine care for female military personnel and dependents.
• Coordinate with pharmacy and laboratory to ensure availability of ARVs, PrEP, PEP, TPT, AHD supplies, rapid tests, sample transport, and POC platforms, reducing laboratory turnaround times.
• Lead the data-use culture for decision-making: dashboards, DQA, clinical audits, and triangulation between clinical, pharmacy, laboratory, and M&E.
• Guide the implementation of CQI/PDSA in military health facilities, prioritizing retention, viral suppression, ART linkage, TPT completion, record quality, and therapeutic continuity.
• Lead, in coordination with the Transition Advisor, the application of the OCA/MilSID model: readiness traffic lights, functional transition matrices, semi-annual milestones, and remediation plans for fragile areas.
• Promote the establishment and accreditation of a permanent corps of military tutors and trainers, reducing reliance on external technical assistance and mitigating staff rotation.
• Ensure therapeutic continuity protocols for deployed military personnel: MMD, confidential clinical notes, secure referral between garrisons, and absolute safeguarding of medical confidentiality.
• Technically represent the Foundation and Military Health in MISAU forums, technical working groups, and meetings with DHAPP/DoD.

Context

The program covers the national territory: the position requires availability for frequent travel to military health facilities nationwide. Care continuity depends on civil-military interoperability between Military Health and MISAU, from central to provincial (DPS) and district (SDSMAS) levels.

Conditions

This is a leadership role with a direct impact on the transition of military health services in Mozambique. Compensation is not published: terms will be agreed upon with the Foundation during the process.
