The National Syndemic Diseases Control Council opens its doors to professionals as it gears up for a renewed war against the triple threat of HIV, TB, and Malaria.

In a major recruitment drive signaling a strategic overhaul, the National Syndemic Diseases Control Council opens its doors to professionals as it gears up for a renewed war against the triple threat of HIV, TB, and Malaria.
In a country grappling with a youth unemployment crisis, a beacon of opportunity has lit up at the National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC). The state corporation, which stands as the vanguard in Kenya`s fight against syndemic diseases, has announced a massive recruitment drive, advertising 23 high-level vacancies. This is not just a hiring spree; it is a tactical restructuring aimed at injecting fresh blood and modern expertise into an organization that carries the weight of the nation’s health security on its shoulders.
The advertised positions read like a blueprint for a modern, agile organization. The Council is hunting for a Director of Finance and Grants Management, a role critical for managing the donor billions that keep the HIV response afloat. They are also seeking Deputy Directors for Strategy and Health Products, signaling a shift from routine management to aggressive, data-driven interventions. These are not jobs for the faint-hearted; they are command positions in a war against diseases that still claim thousands of Kenyan lives annually.
"We are looking for integrity, we are looking for grit, and we are looking for innovation," a source within the HR department intimated. "The landscape of disease control has changed. We need people who can think beyond the pill and address the social determinants of health."
Formerly the National AIDS Control Council (NACC), the rebranded NSDCC has a broader, more complex mandate. It must now juggle the traditional fight against HIV with the emerging threats of co-infections and non-communicable diseases. The 23 new officers will be the architects of this new strategy.
As the application window opens, the scramble for these positions will likely be fierce. But for the NSDCC, the mission is clear: assemble the best team possible. Because when your business is saving lives, you cannot afford to have a weak link in the chain. The clock is ticking towards March 4—and for the lucky 23, the real work is just beginning.
