Medecins Sans Frontieres Surgeon Jobs in Kenya


As an MSF surgeon, you could be called to perform a caesarean section in a temporary tented health facility for displaced people in South Sudan, through to performing a highly technical operation on a child disfigured by noma in Nigeria. Surgical work with MSF is incredibly varied.

Responsibilities

Our surgeons are always based in the project (unless it is managed at distance due to security concerns), and perform a wide range of surgical interventions and non-surgical care, from burns care and dressings through to fistula surgeries and managing spear wounds.

It’s an exciting and diverse role and our surgeons are usually responsible for tasks such as performing obstetric surgeries, management of war wounds (bullet removal, amputations, etc), general surgery and burns management. Our surgeons will also be responsible for training/managing national staff, including operation theatre nurse, paramedics and others.
