Ministry of Health opens recruitment portal for 36th batch of doctors

The Ministry of Health (MoH) has announced that its online recruitment portal will officially open on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, to receive applications for the 36th batch of medical officers and dentists. The portal, which goes live at 10:00 am, is part of a national effort to integrate newly qualified health professionals into the public sector. This recruitment drive is specifically aimed at filling critical staffing gaps in health facilities across the country and ensuring that various districts are adequately resourced with skilled personnel.

To qualify for placement, applicants must have successfully completed their mandatory house job and received verification from the Medical and Dental Council. Eligible doctors and dentists are required to submit their applications through the ministry’s dedicated website at https://mohrecruitment.com. The application process includes selecting preferred districts and health agencies for deployment, which must be done in accordance with the specific instructions provided on the portal to ensure a seamless placement exercise.

The application window is notably brief, with a strict deadline set for Thursday, October 29, 2026. In a statement signed by the Ministry’s Chief Director, health authorities urged all prospective candidates to complete their submissions promptly. The Ministry also issued a stern warning regarding the transparency of the process, advising applicants to be vigilant against fraudsters. Officials reiterated that the recruitment process is entirely free and that no payments should be made to individuals claiming to facilitate or fast-track the placement procedure.
