Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Physician Services

The Navajo Area Indian Health Service in Window Rock, Arizona, requires obstetrician and gynaecologist physician services to ensure comprehensive, culturally acceptable personal and public health services are available to American Indians and Alaska Natives. The agency is seeking to solve the problem of limited access to specialized maternal and women's healthcare for patients, staff, and visitors of the local service unit and health center. The selected physicians must demonstrate local awareness and respect for American Indian and Alaska Native practices while delivering care. The scope of work covers performing outpatient and inpatient duties during scheduled tours of duty, which may vary in length to include eight, ten, or twelve-hour shifts according to the needs of the facility. Physicians will operate within a health center physically separated from a hospital that provides a full range of ambulatory services, including primary care, nursing, laboratory, and x-ray services for at least forty hours a week. The agency requires the provider to utilize personal protective equipment to protect medical personnel from biological, chemical, and radioactive hazards during the performance of their duties. Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore, United States organizations. The agency requires all work to be performed onsite at the designated facility in Window Rock, Arizona. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the initial solicitation details.
