MSF International is the legal entity that binds MSF’s 24 sections, 28 associations and 19 branch offices together. Registered in Switzerland, MSF International provides coordination, information and support to the MSF Movement, as well as implements international projects and initiatives as requested. II. POSITION BACKGROUND Coordination and Source of Product Information (SPINCO) was created to maintain consistency in the choice of medical and non-medical articles between MSF sections in order to improve MSF interventions, while considering field realities. SPINCO is the driver for effective collaboration across the movement to deliver a central source of trusted product information that enables continuous process improvements. SPINCO contributes to MSF’s social mission by enabling improvements in field operations through the provision of product information to all layers of the organization. This enables product quality and visibility for better quality of care, enables assortment management, improvement in supply chain performance and increases overall interoperability whilst reducing duplication of effort. SPINCO’s core role is coordinating the expression of the demand of articles (medical and non-medical) and ensuring it is properly translated for supply whose role is to fulfil that demand. In 2018, UniQuality was implemented as the unique central quality assurance database of MSF, containing the quality assured drugs, medical devices and specialised food validated for use in MSF projects. It is used by the MSF International Pharmacist Network, International Specialised Foods Network, and International Medical Devices/In-vitro Diagnostics Network, and Supply Centres to allow access to the most up-to-date validated product-manufacturer information. In 2022, the UniMed project was launched to connect UniQuality to the supply centres’ ERP systems and automate the dissemination of the information regarding medicines and specialized food, to ensure the accuracy and consistency of quality review information. This position will support the completion of UniQuality for Medical Devices and IVDs in preparation of the linkage of both systems for this category of products as well. In 2024 the Medical Device Repository, a SharePoint library for regulatory, quality and technical documents, went live to facilitate importation procedures with a direct access for field teams, and to keep product validation documentation after assessment by IO and ESC QA referents. In 2025, the NexSpin project was launched to replace the existing solutions including UniQuality and the MD repository by a new Product Information Management System aiming at improving operational efficiency, user experience and user interface. This requires cleaning of the existing solutions, providing input to the NexSpin team as key users and being involved in the implementation phase scheduled in 2027. Medical Device UniQuality & Unidata Product Information Specialist open-end position (100%). III.
