Available vacancies at this stage fall under the Ghana Health Service (GHS), the Christian Health Association of Ghana (CHAG), the Ahmadiyya Health Services, and the Mental Health Authority.

The Ministry also confirmed that officers from the 34th and 35th batches who applied during previous exercises but failed to report to their postings are eligible to participate.

However, their participation is restricted to vacancies within their originally assigned regions, subject to availability.

The Ministry of Health used the announcement to caution prospective applicants against individuals who may approach them claiming to facilitate the process in exchange for payment.

It stated clearly that no fees are required at any stage, and urged all applicants to disregard any such solicitations.
