Patna: The Bihar State Health Society (BSHS) has initiated a major recruitment drive to fill 238 vacant positions across multiple health-related departments in the state. The notification, released recently, covers positions such as Physiotherapist, Psychologist, Laboratory Technician, Medical Social Worker, and several other paramedical and support staff roles that have been lying vacant for some time.

The recruitment is aimed at strengthening the healthcare infrastructure in Bihar, particularly at the district and community health levels. Officials indicated that the newly recruited staff will primarily be deployed in government hospitals and primary health centres across the state, where there has been a persistent shortage of qualified medical personnel.

Candidates possessing the requisite educational qualifications and experience as specified in the official notification are encouraged to apply online through the BSHS portal. The selection process will likely involve a combination of merit-based shortlisting and possibly a written examination or skill test, depending on the nature of each post.

This recruitment drive comes at a crucial time when Bihar has been working to bolster its public health system following years of shortages in critical medical positions. The state government has previously acknowledged that many health centres operate with incomplete staffing, which affects the quality and reach of healthcare services available to citizens, especially in rural areas.

Eligible applicants are being asked to submit their applications along with the required documents, including educational certificates, experience letters where applicable, and identity proof, before the deadline mentioned in the official advertisement. Detailed information regarding age limits, reservation policies, and application fees can be found in the full notification released by the society.
