**Organizational Context**:
The Strategic Lead Health and Wellbeing reports directly to the Head of Health, Disasters, Climate and Crisis. The position is located preferably at the Americas regional office in Panama or alternatively other locations in the region were IFRC has LSA. He/She is responsible for the overall management of health and water and sanitation. The staff of the unit may be located either in Panama or in one of the decentralised offices that make up the Americas Region.

**JOB PURPOSE**

Populations in the Americas face a complex epidemiological picture in three principle areas:

- **chronic diseases** which, in addition to its high mortality, exert great pressure on health services. Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are responsible for 4.5 million deaths in the Americas each year with 35% of these occurring prematurely in people under 70 years old;
- **infectious diseases** with high rates of morbidity especially in children under five years of age.. Recent outbreaks such as Zika, dengue and Chikungunya have generated high demands on health systems; and
- an increasing burden of **disease related to injury from accidents, interpersonal violence and sudden onset disasters **, resulting in a significant demand for care, particularly during emergencies.

**Job Purpose**:
Climate change and urbanisation are also increasing the risk profile in the region and posing challenges to health systems that require innovation in health care delivery.

The health strategy in the Americas is built upon the IFRC’s 3-pronged Global Health Strategy of Community and Emergency Health, WASH and Health in Complex Settings. The health strategy provides health and water and sanitation equity through ensuring both services to large numbers of people affected by disease, emergency, conflict or mass movement as well to communities in their ongoing processes of development.

The role of the health and care unit in the Americas works is to create an Interactive and multi-thematic health network, with sustainable mechanisms coordination, and led by National Societies and the Secretariat in a more integrated manner.

Reporting to the Head of Health, Disasters, Climate and Crisis and with a technical reporting line to the Health and Care department in GVA, the Regional Strategic Lead Health and Wellbeing is responsible to define the programmatic strategic orientations of the health and water and sanitation areas of focus. S/he will ensure overall guidance and implementation of all aspects of the IFRC’s health and water and sanitation strategy, providing consistent advice to National Societies and supporting their programme implementation. S/he is expected to work closely, as part of a global team, with all units in the HDCC and ARO as well as with other regions and colleagues in Geneva to ensure a consistent approach tailored to the specific needs of individual countries to promote the global health and watsan strategy in both developmental and disaster/conflict situations.
