District Health Society, Ariyalur (DHS Ariyalur) Unani Consultant and Pharmacist Recruitment 2026 - 3 Posts

The District Health Society, Ariyalur (DHS Ariyalur), has released a notification for 3 contract-based posts — 1 Unani Consultant, 1 Pharmacist (Unani), and 1 Pharmacist (Siddha) — to be posted at government hospitals and health centres in Ariyalur district. These posts are funded under two central health schemes: the National Programme for Prevention and Control of Non-Communicable Diseases (NPCDCS) and the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM). These are purely temporary, 11-month contract positions, and the district administration has clarified that the number of posts may change and these roles will not be regularised or made permanent in the future. Candidates with a background in Unani or Siddha medicine and pharmacy, who want to work in the public health sector, can apply for these posts.

DHS Ariyalur functions under the overall charge of the District Collector and the District Health Officer, Ariyalur, and coordinates AYUSH and allopathic health staffing for government hospitals and primary health centres across the district. Since these are walk-in contract appointments rather than a written-exam based recruitment, candidates who meet the qualification and age criteria can apply directly without waiting for an exam or interview call letter.
