**Context**

The International Organization For Migration (IOM) operates world-wide facilitating safe and orderly migration.

The Health Assessment Programme (HAP) is a cornerstone of IOM’s commitment to ensure that beneficiaries travel in a safe and orderly manner. Services provided during Pre-Departure Medical Preparation (PDMP) protect the health of beneficiaries during their resettlement activities, thereby protecting the health of other travelers and receiving communities. These services allow final planning of health-related assistance required for travel and facilitate safe movement, ensuring continuum of care throughout the resettlement process.

Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission, IOM Qatar, and the direct supervision of the Migration Health Officer, the Interpreter facilitates the communication process between and among persons who do not speak the same language and may represent different cultural backgrounds and in effect enables smooth workflow at the Migration Health Assessment Centre (MHAC) in Doha, Qatar.
