Intern -Health Policy & Management Job Roche
Medical Jobs, Roche Jobs.
As an intern, you will contribute to a project focused on transforming residual plasma from blood screening workflows into a resource that can support life-saving plasma-derived therapies in Africa. The project aims to explore how blood services in selected countries can move from a test-and-discard model to a more circular and financially sustainable approach by recovering screened plasma for downstream pharmaceutical use. Within your first 3 months, you are expected to help map blood screening workflows in Kenya, Zambia, and Tanzania, estimate lost plasma volumes and their potential value, develop a Circular Diagnostics Framework, build a financial sustainability model, and contribute to a pilot roadmap with strategic recommendations. Your work will support Roche’s sustainability ambitions by advancing circular healthcare, strengthening blood bank resilience, and improving access to plasma-derived medicinal products. This internship offers a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of diagnostics, sustainability, and global health in a highly meaningful regional context.
