NHM Uttarakhand Specialist Recruitment 2026

The National Health Mission (NHM), Uttarakhand has published a specialist-vacancy statement dated 8 October 2026, listing 17 vacancies across Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Paediatrics and Anaesthesia. The list identifies district facilities and programme units where the vacancies are located. It also states that registration with the Uttarakhand Medical Council is mandatory.

Important: The vacancy statement is a position-wise vacancy list, not a complete standalone recruitment advertisement with a final interview date. The document instructs candidates to submit the application form on the day of interview. Check the official NHM recruitment page for the applicable interview notice and detailed eligibility before travelling or submitting documents.

Vacancy summary

Paediatrician vacancy locations

The official statement breaks the 13 Paediatrician posts across several programme units:

• LaQshya, Haridwar: CHC Manglore – 1; SDH Roorkee – 1.
• SNCU: Doon Medical College, Dehradun – 2; Rishikesh – 1; Nainital Medical College – 1; Bageshwar – 1; Chamoli – 1; Tehri – 1; Pithoragarh – 1; Rudraprayag – 1.
• DEIC, Almora: 1.
• NUHM, UCHC Bhupatwala: 1.

These location counts add up to 13 Paediatrician posts. The vacancy statement notes that the number of openings may change—increase, decrease or be filled—by the day of interview. Confirm availability in the latest official notice before applying.

Eligibility and medical registration

The vacancy statement specifically says that registration with the Uttarakhand Medical Council is mandatory. The short vacancy table does not reproduce all speciality-wise educational qualifications, experience criteria, age limits or remuneration. Applicants must therefore open the relevant detailed advertisement or interview notice to confirm the accepted postgraduate degree/diploma, registration requirements, documents, pay and any other conditions for the selected speciality.

Do not rely only on the speciality name to assume eligibility. Confirm that the degree and registration status meet the criteria in the full notice, and verify whether the position is tied to a particular programme or facility. A candidate interested in more than one speciality or programme should follow the separate instructions in the relevant official notice.

Application form and submission timing

The application form included with the official vacancy statement asks for the position applied for, name, date of birth, contact details, academic qualifications from high school onward, work experience and medical council registration information. It also provides space for preferred posting locations.

The instructions state that applicants should submit the application on the day of interview at the designated venue. Since the 8 October vacancy sheet itself does not state a confirmed interview date, candidates should not assume that a walk-in interview is taking place on the date they read the vacancy list. Monitor the official NHM recruitment page for the interview schedule and any revised vacancy sheet.

Documents to prepare

• Completed NHM application form, following the current interview notice.
• Self-attested date-of-birth proof.
• Educational qualification certificates and marksheets.
• Speciality qualification documents required by the detailed advertisement.
• Uttarakhand Medical Council registration details and certificate.
• Work-experience certificates, where required by the specific post.
• Updated CV and a working email address and mobile number.
• Any additional documents named in the interview notice.

The form’s instructions ask applicants to attach self-attested copies for date of birth, academic qualifications and work experience, along with the CV. Use the detailed notice to confirm whether further documents are required for your speciality.

Interview venue

The application form lists the venue as the Office of the Mission Director, National Health Mission, 3rd Floor, Directorate of Medical Health & Family Welfare, Danda Lakhond, Post-Gujrada, Sahastradhara Road, Dehradun – 248001. Confirm the current venue and reporting time from the interview notice before travelling.

Vacancy status and deadline

The 8 October vacancy list does not specify a single online application closing date. The recruitment page’s displayed end date for the file is a website record field and should not be interpreted as the interview date or an assurance that all vacancies remain open until then. The notice expressly warns that vacancies may change by the interview date. The practical next step is to check the official page for the interview schedule and latest status.

2. Check the interview notice for the exact date, time, reporting instructions and venue.
3. Compare the detailed speciality qualification and experience conditions against your certificates.
