Consultant - Strengthening EMTCT and Pediatric HIV Service Delivery, including Adolescent Care, UNICEF Pacific Multi Country Office -Health & Nutrition Section, 9 MONTHS, Office based with trip (INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL)

Fiji is currently experiencing a rapidly escalating HIV epidemic, with over 2,000 new diagnoses reported in 2025, the highest annual figure on record, and a sharp increase observed over recent years. The epidemic is increasingly affecting young people, women, and the wider community, with rising HIV detection in antenatal settings signaling heightened risk of mother-to-child transmission. The consultant will support the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS) and its partners to design, operationalize, and strengthen integrated, evidence based HIV service delivery models that address key service gaps, including low testing coverage, missed HIV seroconversion during pregnancy, limited psychosocial support, and weak linkages between prevention, testing, and treatment services. This consultancy will combine strategic guidance with practical implementation support, ensuring that interventions are feasible, scalable, and integrated within existing health systems.
