Some of the key resolutions and way-forward which emerged from the Recruitment Planning Meeting for Financial Year 2026/2027: The meeting noted the urgent need to prioritize the recruitment of critical cadres in Health Institutions. It was agreed that priority be given to filling positions of Intensivists, Anaesthesiologists/Anaesthetists, Psychiatric cadres, Radiologists, and Midwives, given the acute shortage of these specialized personnel and their direct impact on service delivery. The meeting observed a need to review and harmonize the recruitment cycle with the national budgeting cycle. It was resolved that a harmonization meeting be convened with all Commissions to reach consensus on a recruitment cycle that is better aligned with budget timelines. The meeting acknowledged the shortage of common cadre staff, particularly Internal Auditors and IT Officers, needed in hospitals to manage and audit existing systems. It was resolved that this need be addressed by drawing from the recently concluded and validated USG (U.S. Government) contract staff at the Regional Referral Hospitals.
