The Ekiti State overnor, Biodun Oyebanji has given an approval for the commencement of recruiting medical doctors into the State Hospitals’ Management Board as medical officers.
The purpose of the approval by the governor is 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 state government, have made the emoluments of medical doctors and other health workers compare favourably with their peers working in federal health establishments.
