The District Health Welfare Department (DHFW) of Purulia, West Bengal, has announced a recruitment drive through walk-in interviews for ten vacancies across three key healthcare positions — laboratory technician, staff nurse, and medical officer. The recruitment forms part of the state government's ongoing efforts to strengthen healthcare infrastructure in rural and tribal areas of the district.
The three categories of posts reflect the critical staffing needs at primary health centres, community health centres, and district hospitals throughout Purulia. Medical officer positions are among the most sought-after, as qualified doctors are often in short supply in remote areas. Staff nurse openings address the gap in patient care delivery, while lab technician roles support diagnostic services essential for effective treatment.
Candidates who wish to apply are required to appear in person at the notified venue with original documents and prescribed fee. The walk-in format is commonly used in state-level health department recruitments to expedite the selection process and reduce the waiting period for both candidates and employing authorities.
This recruitment drive comes at a time when West Bengal has been actively working to fill vacant positions across its public health system. The state government has previously emphasized increasing healthcare personnel in underserved districts, with Purulia being one of the regions that has faced chronic staffing shortages. Tribal and rural communities in particular rely on these positions to receive adequate medical attention.
Applicants are advised to verify the official notification for exact dates, venue details, eligibility criteria, and the complete list of required documents before appearing for the interview. Shortlisting and final selection will be made based on the candidate's qualifications, experience, and performance during the walk-in process.
