About iKure
iKure is a healthcare technology and service-delivery organisation working to improve access, quality and continuity of healthcare across underserved and emerging markets.
Our model brings together community health workers, primary-care services, diagnostics, telemedicine, referral pathways, chronic-care management and digital health through WHIMS, iKure's proprietary healthcare intelligence platform.
As we scale our community-health network, clinics, digital-health solutions and population-health programmes, we are looking for a senior healthcare professional to strengthen clinical governance, quality and health outcomes across the organisation.
The Role
The Head – Clinical Governance & Population Health will provide organisation-wide clinical leadership and ensure that iKure's healthcare programmes, community-health interventions and technology-enabled care models operate with appropriate clinical standards, patient-safety mechanisms and measurable health outcomes.
This is not a conventional hospital-based role. The position combines clinical governance, population health, community healthcare, digital health, quality improvement and innovation.
The person will work closely with leadership, programme, technology, research and operations teams and will be a key member of iKure's senior leadership team.
Key ResponsibilitiesClinical Governance & Quality
- Establish and strengthen iKure's overall clinical governance framework.
- Develop, review and standardise clinical protocols, SOPs, referral pathways and escalation mechanisms.
- Ensure appropriate standards for patient safety, quality of care and continuity of care.
- Lead periodic clinical audits, quality reviews and corrective-action processes.
- Establish measurable clinical and programme-quality indicators across interventions.
- Review significant clinical incidents and recommend system-level improvements.
Population Health
- Shape iKure's population-health strategy across community and primary-care programmes.
- Identify priority health risks and translate population-level data into appropriate interventions.
- Strengthen prevention, screening, early-risk identification, referral and longitudinal follow-up models.
- Guide programmes in areas such as NCDs, maternal and child health, women's health and other emerging priorities.
- Support development of outcome-oriented population-health frameworks for enterprise, government and development-sector programmes.
Community Health & iCHA Network
- Provide clinical oversight to iKure's growing network of community health workers/iCHAs.
- Define appropriate scope of work and clinical boundaries for frontline health workers.
- Strengthen protocols for community screening, risk identification, referral, adherence and follow-up.
- Guide training, competency assessment, refresher programmes and clinical mentoring for iCHAs.
- Work with programme teams to improve quality and consistency across different geographies.
Digital Health & WHIMS
- Work closely with the technology team to translate clinical pathways into effective workflows within WHIMS.
- Guide development of clinical protocols, alerts, referral pathways and follow-up mechanisms within the platform.
- Review clinical and population-health dashboards to identify gaps and opportunities for intervention.
- Contribute to responsible use of AI, clinical decision-support tools and emerging digital-health technologies.
- Ensure that technology strengthens clinical decision-making without replacing appropriate professional judgement.
Clinics, Telehealth & Continuity of Care
- Strengthen clinical standards across iKure clinics and telemedicine programmes.
- Develop integrated care pathways connecting community screening, doctors, diagnostics, pharmacies and referral hospitals.
- Improve follow-up and longitudinal management for chronic conditions.
- Establish appropriate referral and escalation pathways for patients requiring higher levels of care.
Research, Evidence & Innovation
- Work with the research team to strengthen clinical protocols, outcome measures and evidence-generation frameworks.
- Provide clinical inputs into research studies, pilots and publications.
- Support evaluation of MedTech, diagnostics, digital-health and AI solutions before and during field deployment.
- Help translate promising healthcare innovations into safe, practical and scalable care models.
- Contribute to collaborations with academic institutions, hospitals and research organisations.
Training & Capability Building
- Develop structured clinical training and mentoring frameworks for programme and frontline teams.
- Build mechanisms for continuous clinical learning and quality improvement.
- Support development of training content and competency standards for different healthcare roles.
- Mentor clinical and programme teams across the organisation.
Partnerships & External Engagement
- Represent iKure's clinical and population-health perspective in discussions with healthcare organisations, government, academia, funders and strategic partners.
- Provide clinical inputs into new partnerships, proposals and programme designs.
- Engage with hospitals, clinicians and healthcare institutions to strengthen referral and specialist networks.
- Participate in clinical advisory groups and strategic initiatives where required.
