A joint programme approach was chosen
to harness the unique skills and expertise of partnering UN agencies
and bring them to bear in a joint effort to address the human
resource crisis in the health sector in Lesotho. This strategy is
aligned to the overall objectives of the UN system in Lesotho to
Deliver as One. It will be complementary to the comprehensive
training programme for medical staff which WHO Lesotho is supporting
and will leverage the unique strength of UNV to deploy qualified
medical staff under the volunteer modality.
The deployment of UNV medical staff will serve two main objectives
1) immediate: contribute as a stop-gap measure to resolving the
human resource crisis in the health sector and 2) long term:
capacity development through quality supervision, peer- and
on-the-job learning of medical staff in situ. Recruited doctors will
be deployed to the areas of need as identified by the Ministry of
Health and Social Welfare through the office of the Director General
of Health Services. In order to maximize the outreach and capacity
development potential of the limited number of UNV medical doctors
to be deployed under this programme, it is suggested to place them
at the district level as their home base. From this home base they
are expected to provide roving services to the community level
health facilities in their districts. An initial estimate would be
that UNV Medical doctors will spend between 40 and 50% of their time
roving the health facilities at the community level. Through this
roving arrangement, it is expected that the services of the UNV
Medical doctors can be extended to a large number of the facilities
that will be renovated and rehabilitated under the MCC thereby
enhancing the potential of these efforts in improving health
services in Lesotho.
