Purpose of the Consultancy The consultant will support the WHO Country Office to strengthen donor visibility, health communications, and knowledge management, as well as enhance the CO’s capacity for translation and content adaptation. Background Strategic communication for public health is a high priority in the Western Pacific, as recognized in the regional vision, Weaving Health for Families, Communities and Societies in the Western Pacific Region (2025-2029): Working together to improve health, well-being, and save lives. The vision’s “weaving” analogy symbolizes collaboration between WHO, governments, and partners to improve health and well-being in the Region. It consists of five vertical strands of action led by governments, and three horizontal strands of action driven by WHO. The inclusion of communications as one of the three horizontal strands highlights the critical role communication plays in achieving key health outcomes, from expanding access to health services, increasing vaccination rates, reducing stigma around mental health, and addressing the risk factors leading to communicable diseases, among others. Different types of communication mechanisms, such as risk communications, community engagement, community protection, and social and behaviour change are key pillars in the Communication for Health (C4H) approach that support the strengthening of these capacities. In Cambodia, the Cambodia-WHO Country Cooperation Strategy 2024-2028 aligns with this regional vision by emphasizing integrated, sustainable, and multi-sectoral solutions to advance universal health coverage and strengthen health systems. Strategic communication serves as a vital enabler across all three strategic priorities: advancing quality integrated systems reoriented toward primary health care; improving the health of individuals, families, and communities through action within and beyond the health sector; and strengthening health security systems to increase public health emergency preparedness, response, and resilience.

National Consultant - to review the legal and regulatory framework for nursing practice and support development of standardized nursing diagnoses, WHO Viet Nam - (2604117) Contractual Arrangement: External consultant Contract Duration (Years, Months, Days): 45 working days Job Posting : Sep 27, 2026, 9:42:04 PM Closing Date : Oct 12, 2026, 5:59:00 PM Primary Location : Viet Nam-Hanoi Organization : WP_VNM Viet Nam Schedule : Full-time IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please note that the deadline for receipt of applications indicated above reflects your personal device's system settings. .. Purpose of the Consultancy The purpose of this consultancy is to review Viet Nam's legal and regulatory framework for nursing practice; identify gaps, overlaps, inconsistencies, and implementation challenges related to scope of practice, functions, responsibilities, and the nursing process; and deliver validated recommendations and a roadmap for regulatory development. A specific focus will be assessing the legal and professional basis for developing a standardized national list of nursing diagnoses to support consistent, evidence-informed practice. Background Nursing practice in Viet Nam is governed by a range of legal and regulatory instruments, including the Law on Medical Examination and Treatment 2023, Government Decree No. 96/2023/ND-CP, and Ministry of Health Circular No. 32/2023/TT-BYT. The State of the World’s Nursing 2025 highlighted the importance of strengthening nursing policies and regulation, including addressing issues related to professional roles and scopes of practice. In 2025, the World Health Assembly also extended the WHO Global Strategic Directions for Nursing and Midwifery to 2030, providing a broader global context for reviewing national nursing policies and regulatory frameworks in line with country needs. In Viet Nam, as this framework evolves, a systematic review is needed to determine whether provisions governing nursing practice, scope of practice, professional responsibilities, and the nursing process are complete, internally consistent, and sufficiently clear for implementation across health facilities. Without such clarity, there is a tangible risk of inconsistent patient assessment, fragmented care, miscommunication, and medical-legal ambiguity—all of which compromise patient safety and quality of care. The review will identify regulatory gaps, overlaps, and ambiguities—particularly around professional autonomy and clinical functions. A priority is standardizing nursing diagnoses as a core element of the nursing process. Clear provisions are needed to ensure consistent assessment, documentation, care planning, communication, and accountability. Standardized diagnoses would also improve data collection on outcomes and interventions, enabling better workforce planning and resource allocation. This work responds to broader workforce challenges, including shortages, uneven distribution, limited incentives, and insufficient professional recognition. Regulatory clarification and standardized diagnoses will not resolve these structural issues alone, but they can strengthen professional recognition, clarify scope and accountability, support clinical decision-making, and provide a foundation for competency development, career pathways, and workforce planning. This work is part of WHO’s 2026–2027 workplan agreed with the Ministry of Health. Accelerated technical support is therefore needed to ensure timely and quality implementation of the 2026 workplan. Deliverables The consultant will work remotely with one possible trip to Hanoi if required twice per year. The deliverables will aid the WCO in Viet Nam to provide the best possible technical advice to the MOH. The work will include tracking legislation, consolidating WCO positions and feedback on legislation, improving cross-team knowledge on legislation, participating in meetings and workshops (remotely if needed), providing technical expertise, and producing the required deliverables. The consultant will provide the WCO with the following outputs and deliverables: Output 1: Work across teams in the WCO to consolidate technical advice on key legislative documents for their development and revision Deliverable 1: Documents of consolidated technical input from WHO on specific laws and secondary legislation under development or revision in 2026-2027 Output 2: Conduct analyses of the regulatory and institutional frameworks related to an outcome within the Strategic Priorities of the Joint MOH-WHO Project Document in Vietnam Deliverable 2: Reports providing regulatory analysis of specific outcomes and potential legal and regulatory options and recommendations to achieve the outcomes Output 3. Track the legislative agenda in Vietnam and the contributions by the WCO teams Deliverable 3: Periodic reports and on the status of health-related laws, decrees, circulars and other government legal documents in Vietnam that are under development or revision, highlighting points of interest to the WCO Vietnam Deliverable 4: Monthly report on progress against deliverables with attached documents related to progress on deliverables 1 to 3. Qualifications, experience, skills and languages Education Essential: Bachelor’s or higher degree in nursing, health law, health policy, public health, health systems, or another field directly relevant to nursing regulation and professional practice. Work Experience Required: At least 4 years of relevant professional experience in nursing practice, nursing regulation, health law, health policy, health systems, or the development and implementation of health-sector regulations. Desirable: Demonstrated experience coordinating technical reviews or consultations involving government agencies, professional councils or associations, health facilities, nursing experts, and development partners. Skills / Technical skills and knowledge: Strong coordination and stakeholder engagement skills Demonstrated ability to review and interpret laws, decrees, circulars, professional standards, and technical guidance; map regulatory provisions; identify gaps and inconsistencies; and translate findings into clear, feasible recommendations. Ability to monitor progress and manage risks Language requirements: Fluency in written and spoken Vietnamese and working proficiency in English, including the ability to review technical materials and prepare concise reports and presentations Location Offsite Travel The Consultant is expected to travel upon the request of the programme and progress of the project.

Background The National Cancer Registry (NCR) in Lebanon, established around two decades ago, aims to measure cancer incidence and describe cases by disease, time, place and person. The NCR also aims to maintain and update national cancer database for further epidemiological studies related to survival and risk factors. The current NCR database includes cases from 2005 to 2025. The available outputs are descriptive epidemiology of cancer incidence. While it is able to generate basic statistical data, the pediatric oncology data needs special coding and additional information that is not readily available. This is one main recommendation made through all Cancer Impact assessment missions supported by IARC. Several bottlenecks have been identified, including data quality and timeliness, underreporting and incomplete data (particularly regarding diagnosis, staging and treatment outcomes), coding issues, limited training, data collection method, etc. Moreover, survival analysis for cancer patients is not available, neither for adult nor for pediatric cases. Lebanon is at an early stage of implementing the WHO Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer (GICC), and strengthening national surveillance systems is a critical next step. Under the GICC, WHO proposes to provide technical support through recruiting a national expert to support the NCR team, to improve pediatric oncology data generation. In parallel, a Cancer Impact mission is currently ongoing; it will be supporting the overall cancer registry review, with a technical support mission being under preparation. The national expert who will be recruited will be remotely technically backed up by IARC experts. 3. Planned timelines TBC 21 Working Days over a period of 10 Months 4.

Purpose of consultancy The consultant will provide operational and technical support to strengthen regional and country capacities for the management, prevention, control, and elimination of priority NTDs. These NTDs include Lymphatic Filariasis (LF), Leprosy, Rabies, Food-Borne Trematodes, Schistosomiasis, Yaws, and Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis. In addition, the STC supports country office on Monitoring and Evaluation and strategic use of data, supply of NTD drugs and diagnostics, and strengthening one health collaboration to accelerate the control and elimination of NTDs through integrated and PHC-based approaches. Background The Department of Health has identified priority Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) across all the eighteen (18) Regions and eighty-two (82) provinces of the Philippines and is committed to accelerating elimination and control in line with the WHO NTD Road Map 2021–2030 and regional resolutions. The WHO Philippines Country Office (WCO-PHL) is implementing integrated, multi-disease approaches addressing malaria, lymphatic filariasis, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiases, yaws, rabies and leprosy, alongside other cross-cutting interventions needed to control and eliminate endemic NTDs (such as One Health approaches and strengthening the underlying health systems). Across the regions and provinces, substantial progress has been made towards malaria elimination, with many subnational areas achieving tropical diseases-free status, while a limited number of remaining foci require intensified, targeted and cross-border action. Philippines, as a WPRO priority country, have advanced from burden reduction to elimination phases, requiring strengthened regional coordination, technical oversight and knowledge exchange. Leprosy has been eliminated as a public health problem in most countries of the Region; however, continued transmission in high risk target groups including children, and in underserved and unserved areas (UUAs) underscores the need for sustained surveillance, programmatic innovation and regional technical support aligned with the WHO Towards Zero Leprosy and the Global Leprosy Strategy 2021–2030. Significant subnational level achievements have also been recorded for other neglected tropical diseases, including lymphatic filariasis elimination milestones, demonstrating the value of sustained investment, partner coordination and regional guidance. The WCO-PHL, in collaboration with other CO Units, DOH and other related sectors, DOH-Bureaus and Agencies, Center for Health Developments (CHDs), Provincial Health Offices, Municipalities and Local Government Units, academe, professional bodies, and their partners, support Member States to prevent, control and eliminate communicable diseases through high-impact regional norms, standards, technical cooperation and targeted country support, with a particular focus on priority areas. Within the WCO-PHL communicable disease programs respond to country needs through updating / development, adaptation of WHO policies, guidelines and manuals; surveillance and response; monitoring, evaluation and reporting; provision of technical assistance; and coordinated advocacy, communication, resource mobilization and partner engagement to reduce morbidity and mortality across the country. While the progress and momentum gained toward the control and elimination of the endemic NTDs in the Philippines has been remarkable, significant challenges persist requiring support from WHO. Philippines has identified eight (8) priority neglected tropical diseases and is committed to eliminate at least three of them by 2030 according to the Department of Health’s (DOH’s) Multi-Diseases Elimination Plan, 2024-2030 (MDEP). Notable among these diseases are lymphatic filariasis (LF), schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted helminthiases, yaws, rabies and leprosy. Other vector borne diseases such as dengue and chikungunya constitute public health concerns. Through this STC, the country office will continue to support priority public health interventions in the Philippines while focusing on priorities including support to enhance capacities on leprosy disease elimination, Mass Drug Administrations, impact surveys (IDA Impact Survey (IIS) and transmission assessment of LF. Deliverables In close collaboration with the relevant WHO-PHL Units, Philippines Department of Health and Agencies and Center for Health Developments, and under the guidance of the CD-Team Lead and strategic guidance of the WHO Country Representative in the Philippines, the Short-Term consultant shall perform the following: Output 1: National roadmap for ending priority neglected tropical diseases in the Philippines is developed and aligned with global and national strategic guidance.
