Suvita increases demand for routine immunisation in India by harnessing the power of SMS reminders and community networks. We recently joined forces with Charity Science Health (CSH) and our combined team has been incubated by N/Core, GiveWell and Charity Entrepreneurship. Our small, agile team is based across three states. Our culture is proactive and hardworking, focused intently on achieving impact for our users.

 

 Our two core focuses are:

  • An existing programme sending SMS reminders about infants’ upcoming vaccines to more than 3 lakh households in seven states

  • A new programme (currently being piloted) establishing a network of volunteer immunisation ambassadors who spread information about vaccination in their communities

 

We are hiring a Partnerships Officer whose role will be to drive forward our government partnership in Maharashtra. You will be based in the Maharashtra government Public Health Department (PHD) covid-19 cell and will be seconded to the PHD to support their data analysis work, largely connected to the covid-19 outbreak. Alongside this day-to-day data work (reporting to the PHD), you will interact 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.
