The available positions include medical doctors, nurses/midwives, community health officers (CHO), community health extension workers (CHEW/JCHEW), pharmacists/technicians, laboratory technicians, and health attendants.
The statement emphasized that priority will be given to existing ad-hoc staff currently working within the system, offering them the first right of refusal as recognition for their service.
