Country Manager – Rwanda: Lead the Future of Healthcare Innovation
Are you ready to drive meaningful change in global health? GOAL 3 is seeking a Country Manager for Rwanda, a pivotal role that combines strategic relationship management, commercial thinking, and operational excellence to scale our impact in healthcare delivery.
About GOAL 3
GOAL 3 is a social enterprise that has developed the IMPALA patient monitoring system, empowering health workers to monitor and manage patients more effectively. IMPALA enables hospitals to shift from reactive care to a proactive approach, ensuring timely interventions for every patient. Our system is already approved and used in Rwanda, Malawi, and Tanzania.
By automating tasks and providing clinical insights, IMPALA significantly reduces health worker burden (91% report a reduced workload), pediatric hospital mortality (-40%), and admission time (-10%). See our website, www.goal3.org, for more details.
