About the Project
MAMTA, in collaboration with JSI under TIFA (Tuberculosis Implementation Framework Agreement), is implementing a project to strengthen the integration of Tuberculosis (TB) screening, diagnosis, treatment, and care within maternal health services for pregnant women across selected districts of Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Assam. The project addresses the persistent gap in TB detection and treatment among this vulnerable population by embedding comprehensive TB services within existing antenatal care (ANC) platforms. Working closely with the Central TB Division, National Health Mission, State TB Divisions, district health authorities, frontline health workers, and private healthcare providers, the initiative strengthens systematic screening, referral mechanisms, treatment initiation, and continuity of care. Through the implementation and documentation of practical, scalable, and sustainable service-delivery models, the project generates evidence and best practices to support wider adoption and institutionalization of integrated TB–maternal health services within government health systems.
The project will be implemented in selected blocks of following districts
Uttar Pradesh - Bahraich, Lucknow and Bareilly
Rajasthan - Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur or any district subject to state approval
Assam- Barpeta, Nagaon, Cachar, Dhubri subject to state approval
Purpose of the Role
The District Coordinator is a field-facing role responsible for embedding TB screening and care into routine antenatal services and converting the district work plan into delivered services for pregnant women. The position drives systematic screening at ANC contact points, secures diagnosis and treatment initiation for presumptive and confirmed cases, and safeguards continuity of care throughout the pregnancy period. It provides on-site coaching and supervision to field staff, secures buy-in and alignment from district Maternal Health as well as NTEP authorities and documents the service-delivery model so that learnings can be institutionalized. The role is deliberately lean and service-oriented, with a clear emphasis on building government capacity so integrated services are sustained beyond the project period.
Key Responsibilities
1. Integrate Systematic TB Screening into Antenatal Care (core anchor)
• Embed comprehensive TB screening within existing antenatal care (ANC) platforms, ensuring every pregnant woman is systematically screened for TB at each ANC contact across project facilities (PHCs, Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, sub-centres, and CHC/DH ANC clinics).
• Customize and roll out integrated TB–ANC screening tools and job aids so screening becomes a routine part of maternal-health service delivery rather than a parallel activity.
2. Strengthen Diagnosis and Referral Mechanisms
• Ensure 100% of presumptive TB cases identified among pregnant women are linked to diagnosis (sputum microscopy / CBNAAT) with documented results, and that samples reach designated centres with lab acknowledgment.
• Strengthen and formalize referral mechanisms between ANC platforms, TB diagnostic units, and treatment centres so that no pregnant woman is lost between screening, diagnosis, and care.
3. Secure Treatment Initiation and Continuity of Care
• Ensure confirmed cases are initiated on treatment without delay and are supported for continuity of care throughout pregnancy, with active follow-up of any drop-offs across the TB and maternal-health cascades.
• Coordinate the handover of care across providers and time points (ANC, delivery, postnatal, and TB treatment) so continuity is maintained throughout the pregnancy continuum.
4. Work Closely with Government and Healthcare Stakeholders
• Align district implementation with the Central TB Division, National Health Mission, and State TB Divisions, presenting the integration plan at District TB Forum and RCH / maternal-health review meetings to secure approval and alignment with NTEP and NHM targets and review calendars.
• Secure buy-in from district health authorities — the District TB Officer, District Programme Manager (NHM/RCH), and CMHO — and serve as the primary link between project leadership and these stakeholders.
5. Strengthen Frontline Health Worker Capacity (on-the-job, no venue-based training)
• Provide on-site, one-on-one and small-group mentoring and coaching to ANMs, ASHAs, staff nurses, and medical officers on integrating TB screening, referral, and counselling into routine ANC, embedded into supervisory field visits.
• Map capacity gaps among frontline workers and deliver corrective coaching, short virtual orientations, and mobile job aids (low/no cost) rather than static venue-based workshops.
6. Implement and Document Scalable, Sustainable Service-Delivery Models
• Implement the integrated TB–maternal-health service-delivery model in the field and document practical workflows, adaptations, and operating procedures that make the model scalable and sustainable.
• Maintain the project MIS and digital screening logs, ensuring consistency between ANC/MCP records, Nikshay, and project data, and conduct data quality assurance (DQA) against the TB–ANC cascade.
7. Generate Evidence and Support Institutionalization
• Capture evidence, best practices, and case studies from implementation, and submit milestone-ready monthly and quarterly reports with indicator results (aggregated and by site), cascade charts, strengths, challenges, and recommendations.
• Build the capacity of existing government and frontline staff so integrated TB–maternal-health services are absorbed into routine ANC, supporting wider adoption and institutionalization within government health systems beyond the project period.
8. Additional Responsibilities
• Undertake any other reasonable task assigned by project leadership in support of project objectives.
Qualifications and Experience
Education
• Masters in Social Work (MSW) , Post graduate in Public Health or a related field.
Experience
• Minimum 3–5 years of experience in public-health programme implementation, preferably in TB and/or maternal and reproductive health (RMNCH/ANC) projects.
• Demonstrated experience coordinating with the government health system — NTEP, National Health Mission, and district health authorities — and working with NGOs on community or facility-based health projects.
• Hands-on experience in facility-based service delivery, field supervision, and mentoring of frontline health workers (ANMs, ASHAs, staff nurses).
• Experience engaging private healthcare providers and documenting service-delivery models is an advantage.
Skills and Competencies
• Working knowledge of TB epidemiology, prevention, diagnostics, and treatment protocols, the NTEP framework, and TB risks in pregnancy.
• Understanding of antenatal care platforms and maternal-health service delivery (NHM/RCH), and how TB screening can be embedded within them.
• Familiarity with Nikshay, ANC/MCP records, and digital monitoring tools; ability to run data quality assurance against the TB–ANC cascade.
• Ability to develop micro-plans, integrated screening tools, SOPs, and quantifiable, milestone-based deliverables.
• Proven ability to secure approvals from and align work plans with government departments and to engage private maternity providers (active coordination, not passive liaison).
• Ability to document service-delivery models, best practices, and case studies to support institutionalization.
• Strong written and verbal communication for reporting, advocacy, and stakeholder engagement, including clear, verifiable deliverables in plain, active-voice English.
• Ability to facilitate on-the-job coaching, participatory meetings, and community awareness activities.
• Competency in MS Office and digital data-collection platforms.
• Knowledge of the relevant state language(s) for the posting (Hindi for Rajasthan/Uttar Pradesh; Assamese for Assam) is preferred; experience with tribal and marginalized communities is desirable.
Other Requirements
• Must own an Android smartphone and a two-wheeler with a valid driving licence
• Willingness to be based at the district headquarters and to travel frequently to project blocks and to state headquarters for reviews.
