Bhagwant Mann Government Announces Recruitment of 672 Staff Nurses to Strengthen Public Healthcare System The Punjab government has announced the recruitment of 672 staff nurses to bolster the state’s public healthcare infrastructure. The online application portal for these positions will remain open from March 13 to April 2, 2026, allowing candidates to apply through the university’s official website under the Department of Health and Family Welfare. This initiative adds to the previously sanctioned 406 Staff Nurse posts, of which 275 appointment orders have already been issued. The newly appointed nurses will be deployed across Sub Divisional Hospitals and District Hospitals throughout Punjab. The recruitment effort underscores the government’s commitment to enhancing healthcare services. In January 2026, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann personally handed over appointment letters to 282 newly recruited nurses, highlighting the administration’s focus on efficient governance and timely staffing in the public health sector. This action reflects a broader strategy to address staffing shortages and improve patient care in government-run medical facilities. The move is part of a larger plan to strengthen the state’s healthcare system, ensuring that hospitals and clinics have adequate medical personnel to meet the needs of the population. By expanding the nursing workforce, the government aims to reduce the burden on existing staff and improve the quality of care provided to patients. The deployment of these nurses is expected to enhance operational efficiency and support the delivery of essential health services, particularly in underserved regions.#punjab_government #sub_divisional_hospitals #district_hospitals #bhagwant_singh_mann #department_of_health_and_family_welfare
