CONTEXT

Within MSF Belgium (OCB – Operational Center Brussels), the Emergency Pool (Epool) is part of the Operations Department. Our primary objective is to intervene with medical activities directly and quickly in crisis situations like conflicts, epidemics and natural catastrophes while guaranteeing the quality of interventions. As such, the Epool is in charge - anywhere, anytime – of monitoring and identifying crises that may arise.

The Epool consists of the head of Epool, 1 medical deputy head of Epool and 2 Emergency Coordinators (EMCOs) based in Brussels, as well as officers in logistics, pharma, supply, administration, HR and finance supporting the EMCOs in all emergencies. 25 to 30 emergency responders - i.e. MIO Mobile Implementing Officer.

Each EMCO manages 1 or 2 emergencies simultaneously, depending on the volume and complexity of the response. The EMCOs - whether medical or non-medical profile - work together with the medical deputy head of Epool and the medical officer to develop, review, implement, and monitor the medical strategy.

As the Medical Officer for the EPool, you will participate in all aspects of the medical/operational management of Epool interventions as well as supporting the coordination of team resources. You will support the Medical Deputy Head of the Epool and the Medical Coordinators to ensure the quality of the medical response.
