Senior Consultant – Regional Delivery

About IMACS The Institute for Health Modeling and Climate Solutions (IMACS), hosted by Malaria No More, is a center of excellence dedicated to building predictive intelligence for the world’s most vulnerable health systems. IMACS brings together advanced data science, artificial intelligence, and operational modeling to help countries anticipate , prepare for, and respond to infectious disease threats. Working at the intersection of high-resolution data infrastructure, machine learning, and public health decision-making, IMACS partners with governments and global institutions to strengthen surveillance, sharpen early warning capabilities, and accelerate evidence-driven response.
