Contractual Arrangement: External consultant
Contract Duration (Years, Months, Days): 4 Months, January – April 2025

Purpose of consultancy

  • The PICs are in the elimination phase of measles with a target of verification of elimination by 2025.  
  • There are four countries/areas that have laboratory testing capacity for MR in the PICs: Fiji, French Polynesia, Guam, and New Caledonia. Other countries must rely on the referral of samples to their nearest regional reference laboratory, usually Australia.
  • This can result in longer times for samples to reach the laboratory and the provision of results thus delaying confirmation of measles cases and the appropriate public health response.
  • The development of in-country, high quality laboratory testing would improve the turnaround time of tests and public health decision-making.

Deliverables

  • Provide training in EIA and RTPCR methods for the detection of suspected cases of measles and rubella virus;
  • Provide training to laboratory staff / healthcare workers of national laboratories in Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu in quality assurance in preparation for EQA performance and WHO accreditation; and

  • Deliverable 1.1: Install and train staff in the installation of all equipment including software for MR EIAs and RTPCR.
  • Deliverable 1.2: Face to face training on-site in serological and molecular methods for MR EIAs and RTPCR.
  • Output 2: Training of laboratory staff/healthcare workers in delivery of high performance in EQA schemes for MR in four established national laboratories in PICs (Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tonga, and Vanuatu).
  • Deliverable 2.1: Face to face training in the preparation, performance, and analysis of external quality assurance schemes for vaccine preventable diseases with specific reference to measles and rubella.
  • Deliverable 2.2: Training in the procurement of EQA panels and the reporting of results.
  • Output 3: Design and establish a delivery system for MR serology and molecular EQA panels to the newly established national laboratory network in the PICS.
  • Deliverable 3.1: Organize meeting for the appropriate and responsible partners to discuss and agree shipping system for EQA panels for the laboratory network in the PICs.
  • Deliverable 3.2: Write up shipping system protocol for use as standard operating procedure in the national laboratories of Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu.
