REQUEST FOR INFORMATION (RFI) FOR TRAINING OF HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS IN IOM LAGOS AND ABUJA OFFICE
BACKGROUND
Established in 1951, IOM is the leading intergovernmental organization in the field of migration and works to help ensure the orderly and humane management of migration to promote international cooperation on migration issues, to assist in the search for practical solutions to migration problems and to provide
humanitarian assistance to migrants in need, including refugees and internally displaced people.
Within its Migration Health Division (MHD), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in its role of United Nations Migration Agency, delivers and promotes comprehensive, preventive and curative health programs which are beneficial, accessible, and equitable for migrants and mobile populations. MHD
contributes towards the physical, mental and social well-being of migrants, enabling them and host communities to achieve social and economic development.
Migration Health Assessment Centers (MHAC) under the MHD, are saddled with the responsibility of conducting health assessments for migrants, and so the need to equip staff with hands-on emergency skills should the need arise.
It is for this purpose that the management has deemed it necessary to provide Basic Life Support, Advanced Cardiac Life Support, and Advanced Emergency skills training for the staff members. The training will target both Doctors and Nurses at Abuja and Lagos duty stations.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the training is for MHAC staff to be able to deliver high-quality CPR along with early defibrillation from an AED for clients in need. They should deliver such emergency services with high level proficiency in Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Airway management.
The training will help to prepare MHAC clinical staff with the necessary skills and knowledge they need to promptly recognize and respond effectively to several life-threatening emergencies in a wide variety of infacility and pre-hospital settings.
SCOPE/TASK DESCRIPTION
The consultants shall organize two training sessions for both Lagos and Abuja duty stations. These training sessions 3 days each with the first group training for 2 days and joining the second group on the third day to make one group. Training would be for a total of 34 staff members in Abuja, and 45 staff members in Lagos.
Closing date for receipt of the RFI: 15:00 hrs. 23rd August 2023
