A total of 9,152 candidates were called for interviews for permanent health worker appointments, according to the Public Service Commission (PSC).
The interviews were to fill 4,914 vacancies for medical officers Grade UD43 (4,263 positions), dental officers Grade UG41 (335 positions), and pharmacists Grade UF41 (316 positions) for the year 2023.
The interviews were held from March 1 to 22, the PSC said in a statement today.
“PSC has submitted a list of names of candidates who attended the interviews to the Ministry of Health (MOH) on March 31, for a detailed review to ensure all appointed candidates meet the specific conditions set by the ministry,” it said.
Among the conditions are that candidates have been appointed under a contract of service at the MOH based on the ministry secretary-general's Circular Number 4 of 2016; have completed graduate training either locally or abroad; and have contract appointments from 2016 to 2020 only.
Other conditions are that the candidate has never resigned, never been terminated, and never been subject to disciplinary action during the contract period, and never refused an offer of a permanent appointment.
“For permanent appointments in 2023, a total of 4,914 candidates will be appointed permanently based on existing vacancies.
“The remaining candidates who meet the specific requirements of the MOH but are not offered a permanent appointment at this recruitment session will be made reserve candidates.
“If there are vacancies in the future, reserve candidates will be appointed permanently,” it said.
The PSC said the interview results are scheduled to be released on April 17 via email, its official website, and the PSC Facebook page.
It added that the offer letters for permanent appointments will be issued on May 2 through the Appointment Offer System (MySTP).
Candidates have 14 days to accept the offers and submit all required documents.
