Project Coordinator

Location: Chamba

About the Role:

We are seeking a dynamic and experienced Project Coordinator to lead our Mobile Medical Unit (MMU) operations in Chamba district. You will be the eyes and ears of our health project on the ground—the person who knows what's happening in every village, understands community health needs, mobilizes people for health camps, and ensures our MMU delivers quality healthcare to remote areas.
