1,466 posts to be filled in Health department

Hyderabad: Telangana State Health Department has decided to fill 1,466 posts in DME Ayush and Directorate of Public Health wings and also in MNJ Cancer Hospital, Hyderabad.

Of this, 257 doctors posts to be filled in DME, Ayush and MNJ side, while another 1,209 posts (paramedical and other staff) belong to Public Health.

Another significant thing to be noted is that these posts would be filled through direct recruitment through the newly constituted MHSRB (Medical and Health Services Recruitment Board).

A decision to this effect was taken in a meeting conducted by Special Chief Secretary (Medical and Health) a few days ago with the senior officials.

The department has sought technical assistance of JNTU-Hyderabad on conducting the recruitment exam since MHSRB was a new body. It is learnt that JNTU is likely to give technical support and that too remaining in the background only like they did for police recruitment board.

All formalities like notification, exam date, results etc. would be done by the MHSRB only with no role of JNTU in it.

Meanwhile, HoDs were told to submit information including category-wise syllabus, qualification, the grouping of categories, exam duration, number of papers and medium of examination, application fee, roster matrix etc. by July 30.
