The Ekiti State Government has commenced the process of recruiting medical doctors into the State Hospitals’ Management Board as
medical officers.
The move is sequel to the approval given by the State Governor, Mr
Biodun Oyebanji to the State Hospitals’ Management Board , to fill
existing vacancies in the State General and Specialists Hospitals.
A statement made available to newsmen from the office of the Permanent
Secretary Ekiti State Hospitals’ Management Board (HMB) in Ado-Ekiti
said interested applicants must possess relevant medical certificates
such as MBBS, recent Practicing Licence, Certificate of Full
Registration and National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) Discharge
Certificate or Exception letter .
The statement advised interested applicants with prerequisite
qualifications to obtain their application forms at the Ekiti State
Hospitals’ Management Board (HMB), Similoluwa Area , Ado Ekiti,
between Monday 25th March and Friday, 5th April, 2024
Recall that a few months ago, Governor Oyebanji increased salaries of
all health workers in the state via the implementation of the
Consolidated Medical Salary Scale (CONMESS), the Consolidated Health
Salary Scale (CONHESS) as well as payment of 100% hazard allowance for
medical doctors and other health workers.
These actions were nationally recognised, with different health
associations hailing the Governor for the steadfast commitment to
improving the welfare of health workers .
These gestures, amongst others by the Ekiti government, have made the
emoluments of medical doctors and other health workers compare
favourably with their peers working in federal health establishments.
