Project Database Manager at PATH4AIPOCUS Project

The PATH4AIPOCUS Project is a three-year initiative funded by the Gates Foundation. The project aligns with national and global Maternal, Newborn, Child, and Nutrition Health (MNCNH) priorities by supporting the development, validation, and scale-up of Artificial Intelligence–enabled Point-of-Care Ultrasound (AI-POCUS) within antenatal care (ANC) services in Nigeria.

The project aims to generate robust evidence on health system readiness—including service delivery regulations, policy alignment, competency frameworks, financing mechanisms, and implementation feasibility—to inform sustainable integration of AI-enabled POCUS into routine maternal healthcare in resource-constrained settings.

We are recruiting to fill the position below:
