Job Title: Project Coordinator
Organisation: Palmetto
Medical Initiative (PMI)
Medical Initiative (PMI)
Duty Station: Kampala, Uganda
Reports to: United Nations Medical Director
About PMI:
Palmetto
Medical Initiative (PMI) is revolutionizing the approach to medical
intervention in the developing world by moving beyond relief to achieve
long-term improvements in health. PMI is a rapidly growing grassroots NGO
that exists to provide sustainable, quality health care to developing
nations. In a world where nearly half the population lives on less than $2
per day (Source: UN, 2013), socialized healthcare systems are overcrowded,
poorly equipped, and underfunded. PMI is bridging the gap between ineffective,
socialized care and unaffordable, private care. PMI is committed to
effectively implementing projects across East Africa and Central America to
transform the health of our partnering communities. We have seen our model
proven through our pilot project in Masindi, Uganda. This project became
operational in January 2010 and became operationally sustainable within 13
months of opening. To date, more than 40,000 patients have received care
through PMI’s efforts in Uganda. By creating sustainable medical centers
that offer low-cost services, PMI is able to increase accessibility to
high-quality healthcare and empower communities for a healthy tomorrow.
