10011800-General Planner Services for an Infectious Diseases/Isolation Unit at Ola During Children"s Hospital in Freetown, Sierra Leone

Beschreibung

Brief description: The project will strengthen Sierra Leone"s podiatric referral care for communicable diseases by replacing an obsolete Ebola era temporary isolation structure at Ola During Children"s Hospital (ODCH) with a purpose built Paediatric Infectious Diseases/Isolation Unit (IDU). Embedded in BMZ/GIZ"s "Health System Strengthening and Epidemic Prevention - Phase II" and implemented with the Ministry of Health, the facility will expand and modernize inpatient capacity, enhance infection prevention and control (IPC), reduce nosocomial transmission, improve staff safety, and contribute to better clinical outcomes for children. The IDU supports national outbreak preparedness and response. Scope of services: GIZ invites multidisciplinary General Planner Services to deliver a complete, coordinated, permit ready design and tender package for the IDU on an approx. 1,400 m2 plot adjacent to, yet clearly segregated from, the main ODCH compound. Targeted outcome: A fully coordinated, permit cleared, tender ready design package for a modern pediatric IDU at ODCH that enables competitive construction procurement and strengthens IPC performance, safer pediatric care, and epidemic preparedness in Sierra Leone.
