  • Lead the drafting of the Public Health Implementation Plan for DPH, coordinating inputs from DPH and other stakeholders.
  • Help develop strategies and interventions to improve public health and primary healthcare outcomes and lay the foundation for Nauru’s new model of primary healthcare (to be developed in 2026).
