5 billion people do not have access to safe, affordable surgical and anaesthesia care when needed. Can you help us address this neglected area of global health care?

Surgery and anaesthesia have a fundamental and growing impact on global health outcomes. Surgical intervention could address at least 30% of the global burden of disease, and yet the poorest 33% of people receive just 3.5% of all surgery. Post-operative mortality rates 1,000 times higher than in some high-income countries can be found in parts of the world where surgery and anaesthesia have been neglected, and in some countries as many as 90% of anaesthetic departments do not have the equipment to provide a safe anaesthetic for a child.

With 142 Member Societies made up of anaesthesiologists in 151 countries, WFSA is uniquely placed to influence these inequalities and to help ensure universal access to safe surgery and safe anaesthesia. We work to achieve this through four focus areas:
1. Advocacy
2. Education & Training
3. Working Together
4. Safety & Quality

Purpose of Role

In your role of Communications Officer, you will contribute to the delivery of WFSA’s objectives by helping to implement advocacy and communications strategies.

You will report to the Head of Advocacy & Communications and liaise regularly with the rest of the small staff team in the Secretariat. The Secretariat works with and supports a much larger team of expert volunteers around the world.  Relationships with Member Societies and our Board and Council will also be important, and an ability to interact across a range of stakeholders is essential.

You will be responsible for supporting the delivery of WFSA’s communications, advocacy and digital learning strategy. You will strengthen WFSA by:

• Supporting the Head of Advocacy & Communications in the delivery of all aspects of our communications, advocacy and digital learning strategy.
• Maintaining and enhancing the WFSA website.
• Developing ideas and creating visual and written content for our website, social platforms, and other outlets.
• Helping to manage and expand our social media presence.
• Developing materials for our fundraising and marketing activities.
• Event coordination (this may include some national and international travel to support events).
