In a major boost to the state’s healthcare infrastructure, the Punjab Government has announced a massive recruitment drive to fill 1,000 vacancies for medical officers (MBBS doctors).

This recruitment drive is said to be the largest in decades, which would address long-pending shortages in government hospitals and health centres across the state.

The interested candidates can apply through the website of Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot, from April 25 to May 15.

The details regarding eligibility, selection criteria and application procedures are expected to be available on the BFUHS website.

Meanwhile, the Punjab Civil Medical Services Association (PCMSA) has welcomed the state government’s decision.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
