NHM Kollam Medical Officer Recruitment 2026

NHM Kollam Medical Officer Recruitment 2026: Overview

National Health Mission (NHM), Kollam is recruiting Medical Officers for its immediate service needs in the district. The appointment is through the District Health and Family Welfare Society, Arogyakeralam, and your work institution will depend on the Society’s requirements. This is a contract engagement connected to the Mission’s operation, so you should consider the service terms carefully before accepting an offer. The key practical point is willingness to work at the institution assigned within Kollam district.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract agreement: If selected, you must enter into a contract with the District Health and Family Welfare Society in Kollam. The Society is the body named in the notice for the agreement and the appointment.
• Initial tenure: The first contract lasts three months. This is the stated starting period, so plan your availability around an initial short engagement rather than treating the appointment as open-ended.
• Possible extension: The Society may extend the contract after considering your performance and integrity. Continuation is at the Society’s discretion; an initial appointment does not itself promise a further term.
• District posting: You must be willing to serve in any institution within Kollam district that the Society chooses. The notice does not offer applicants a guaranteed institution or a choice of workplace.
• Mission-linked service: These posts exist during the operation of the Mission. The notice rules out a claim to permanent employment or labour claims against NHM, the health services department or the government on the basis of this engagement.
• Travel costs: The Society will not pay travel or daily allowance for attending the interview. Keep this condition in mind if you need to travel when called.
• Communication: The Society will contact applicants through email. Keep your email account accessible and check the Arogyakeralam website for updates, notices and announcements related to the recruitment.
• Application completeness: Incomplete applications will be rejected. Your participation also remains subject to NHM conditions throughout the recruitment process, and the Society can exclude an application that does not meet them.
• Conduct: Any attempt to influence the recruitment through canvassing leads to disqualification. Follow the stated process and use the official contact route for recruitment enquiries.
• District office enquiries: The notice directs applicants to the NHM Kollam district office for further information on working days, between 10 am and 5 pm. You can seek clarification there about the recruitment notice and its conditions.
