Laboratory Technician Marie Stopes Uganda

Marie Stopes Uganda (MSU) is one of the largest non-governmental not-for-profit family planning organisations in Uganda. We are a focused, results oriented social enterprise that develops efficient, effective family planning programmes in Uganda. MSU believes family planning, a powerful and proven public health intervention, is one of the most cost effective ways to reduce maternal, infant and child mortality. The program's vision is to make a national impact on meeting the 41% of unmet FP need in Uganda through the increased provision of quality, accessible and affordable LAPM as part of a comprehensive method mix. Barriers to FP particularly for rural poor women remain varied and complex but are also surmountable. Through this program, MSU is proposing to address Uganda's high unmet need for FP and contribute to reaching further reductions of maternal and child mortality.
MSU is expanding and now wishes to recruit personnel to the following positions: Four Medical Officers, Eight Service Providers and Two Research Assistants, One Laboratory Technician, One Centre Manager, One Clinical Officer, One Receptionist, Four Transport Assistants. This is a two year renewable contract. This is an exciting opportunity to take your career to a new level with this dynamic market leader in family planning services and make an impact on the reproductive health needs of Ugandan men and women.
