The Ministry of Health has announced the commencement of a nationwide exercise to ensure the fair and equitable distribution of doctors across all regions and districts.

In a post on its official Facebook page and signed by the Head of Health Training Institutions and Spokesperson, Tony Goodman, on Monday, November 3, the Ministry urged doctors currently undergoing recruitment to accept postings to available vacancies in various regional and district hospitals.

The exercise, according to the Ministry, forms part of ongoing efforts to enhance the even distribution of health professionals and improve access to quality healthcare services across the country.

It further clarified that all placements are being conducted strictly through the official online portal and warned that no individual or group has been authorised to collect money or influence postings.

“Eligible doctors are therefore cautioned not to engage middlemen or pay any persons who promise to alter or fast-track their postings,” the Ministry emphasised.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to achieving universal health coverage and reiterated its policy of equitable deployment of doctors to underserved districts.

All qualified doctors have been encouraged to visit the official Ministry of Health website to complete their registration before the deadline on the portal.
