Head of Zangi SHC (Nurse)

MAGNA is a medical humanitarian organization that has been actively working worldwide and providing humanitarian aid for more than 20 years. Currently, MAGNA implements humanitarian and health interventions in around 15 countries, with some of its largest operations in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Syria, South Sudan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Ukraine. MAGNA delivers humanitarian assistance through direct engagement with health facilities, local health authorities, and frontline healthcare workers to ensure timely and lifesaving medical care for vulnerable populations affected by emergencies and crises.

MAGNA assists children, women, and vulnerable families affected by natural disasters, armed conflicts, displacement, disease outbreaks, and humanitarian emergencies. In the field, MAGNA deploys qualified doctors, nurses, nutrition staff, psychosocial counselors, and technical specialists to support integrated humanitarian response and strengthen access to essential health and nutrition services.

MAGNA’s interventions primarily focus on Health, Nutrition, and Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), aiming to save lives, reduce suffering, and improve access to quality healthcare services for crisis-affected communities. Armed conflicts, political instability, displacement, poverty, and weak health systems continue to place millions of people at risk, resulting in increased morbidity, malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and psychological distress. MAGNA prioritizes emergency medical response, outbreak preparedness and response, nutrition services, maternal and child healthcare, MHPSS, and support for underserved and hard-to-reach populations.

In Afghanistan, MAGNA has established a strong operational presence, particularly in the northeastern and southeastern regions. Since January 2026, MAGNA has been implementing the BPHS/HER AF2 project in Kunduz province, supporting 75 health facilities and more than 500 health posts serving over 1.5 million people. The project focuses on integrated primary healthcare services including maternal and newborn health, child health and immunization, nutrition, communicable disease management, MHPSS, referral services, and emergency preparedness and response activities.

MAGNA also has previous emergency response experience in southeastern and eastern Afghanistan. In 2025, MAGNA implemented emergency health and nutrition interventions in Khost province targeting returnees, displaced populations, and vulnerable host communities through integrated mobile and facility-based services. In addition, MAGNA supported emergency response activities following the Kunar earthquake in eastern Afghanistan, providing emergency medical assistance, nutrition support, essential medicines, and psychosocial support services to affected communities in hard-to-reach areas.

MAGNA has a zero-tolerance policy regarding Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) by its personnel against the people it serves. Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) is the responsibility of all staff members, and all selected candidates are required to fully comply with MAGNA’s PSEA Policy at all times. MAGNA conducts rigorous reference and background checks related to safeguarding, misconduct, and SEA during recruitment processes, and additional verification may be requested throughout the selection process to ensure the highest standards of accountability, integrity, and protection.
