We are hiring a Data Officer who will be seconded to the Maharashtra government Public Health Department (PHD) covid-19 cell to support their data analysis work, largely connected to the covid-19 outbreak.

This will involve performing day-to-day data work (reporting to the PHD), as well as interacting with various colleagues in the PHD to move forward discussions around several MoUs currently in development between CSH and the PHD. These MoUs will enable Suvita/CSH to send SMS immunisation reminders to all new parents in Maharashtra’s Reproductive Child Health database, which covers 90% of new births.
