Bihar Health Department to initiate recruitment process for over 11,000 posts

The Bihar Health Department is on the verge of completing preparations to fill over 11,000 posts to further strengthen health services in the state. This recruitment process includes administrative, technical, and medical support positions. State Health Society Executive Director Nawal Kishore Chaudhary, while providing information in this regard on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, stated that the official notification for this massive recruitment drive will be published by the last week of this month. The recruitment calendar will also be released soon.

Currently, updated details of vacancies are being collected from all 38 districts of the state. This information is being obtained from district-level health institutions, Primary Health Centres (PHCs), Community Health Centres (CHCs), and sub-divisional hospitals. In this first phase of recruitment, staff nurses, laboratory technicians, managerial category posts, Block Health Managers (BHM), block-level NME employees, and clerical staff will be appointed. Recruitment for other vacancies will be conducted in the second phase.

Nawal Kishore Chaudhary further stated that this recruitment for over 11,000 posts will bring a positive change to Bihar's health sector. Making dedicated teams available at the block and panchayat levels will assist doctors and paramedical staff, which will improve the quality of primary health services, especially in rural and remote areas. The number of health personnel in district and sub-divisional hospitals will be adjusted according to the patient load, which will reduce the excessive work pressure on existing staff. With an adequate number of laboratory technicians and nurses, patients will receive timely diagnostic reports and quality services. The appointment of Block Health Managers and clerical staff will ensure that government health schemes reach the general public in a transparent and swift manner.

The recruitment calendar has been finalized and will be released as soon as it receives approval from the competent authorities. The department's main objective is to complete the entire recruitment process transparently, including selection, document verification, and distribution of appointment letters, within 6 to 7 months from the date of issuing the official notification.
