Key Responsibilities:

Prepare longitudinal, facility-period epidemiological datasets for mortality, severe morbidity, coverage, readiness, and workforce indicators, applying protocol-defined inclusion criteria and variable transformations. Compute routine epidemiological indicators, including mortality rates/ratios, effective coverage components, case-mix descriptors, referral patterns, admission severity profiles, and event frequencies. Produce descriptive analyses and outputs for trend assessment, quarterly snapshots, and facility-level dashboards that feed into interrupted time series and counterfactual modelling workflows. Contribute summary statistics to quarterly technical updates and annual reports. Support the implementation science workstream by generating routine process indicators, QI-related summaries, and visualisations for facility feedback. Summarise QI findings, operational disruptions, and facility readiness constraints into structured contextual notes to support process evaluation and interpretation. Support the assembly of facility-level implementation indices and descriptive analyses of workforce competency trends. Maintain reproducible analysis notebooks and documentation, and support improvements to data structures, versioning, and quality control workflows.
