National Consultant for Childhood Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), Health section, 18 months, New Delhi, India, (Open for Indian nationals only), Req#592866 Long-term contract National Position

This consultancy aims to provide strategic and technical support to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Ministry of Tribal Affairs (MoTA), and key partners to strengthen the integration, quality, and continuum of care for childhood non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in India. As India undergoes an epidemiological transition, childhood NCDs—such as Type 1 Diabetes, congenital and rheumatic heart disease, sickle cell disease, and asthma—are emerging as critical yet under-integrated priorities within child health systems.

While national platforms like NP‑NCD, RBSK, and Ayushman Bharat Health and Wellness Centres offer entry points for prevention and care, fragmentation, variable capacities, and gaps in referral, data systems, and long-term follow-up persist. The consultancy will support policy convergence, system integration across primary care and referral pathways, quality improvement, data use, state-level implementation, and multi-stakeholder coordination.

It also emphasizes documentation, evidence generation, and social and behaviour change approaches to improve prevention and long-term management of childhood NCDs.
