DH&FWS Purba Bardhaman Recruitment 2026: 47 Pharmacist, MO Posts

DH&FWS Purba Bardhaman Recruitment: The District Health & Family Welfare Samity, Purba Bardhaman has released a fresh notification covering 47 vacancies. The drive is meant for two posts — Medical Officer-AYUSH (MHT) and Pharmacist.

These are purely contractual engagements, with an initial period running up to March 2027. That said, the engagement could well be extended further, subject to performance and approval from higher authority.

Post-wise Vacancy Details

Those selected will be posted at BPHCs and Municipalities across Purba Bardhaman district. Their job will be to deliver healthcare services under the National Health Mission (NHM), working within the Medical Health Team (MHT) and RBSK framework.

Important Dates

According to the notification, the provisional list along with the notice for original testimonial verification will go up on both www.purbabardhaman.nic.in and www.wbhealth.gov.in.

Eligibility Criteria

For Medical Officer-AYUSH (MHT):

• A BHMS/BAMS/BUMS degree from a recognised institution is required.
• The compulsory internship must already be completed at the time of applying.
• Registration with the respective council is a must.
• Age limit: maximum 40 years as on 01.01.2026.

For Pharmacist:

• Age limit: minimum 18 years, maximum 40 years as on 01.01.2026.
• The notification doesn’t spell out a separate educational qualification for this post, so it’s best to go through the official document for the full picture.

For both posts, candidates need to be permanent residents of West Bengal, and knowing how to read, write and speak Bengali is non-negotiable.

Additional Weightage

Preparation Note

Since there’s no written exam here, and selection hinges entirely on academic marks plus testimonial verification, candidates should focus their energy on getting every certificate, mark sheet, and registration document in order well ahead of the deadline.

Those with additional qualifications — MD, B-Pharma, or M-Pharma — should keep those certificates handy too, since they could fetch extra marks. And proficiency in Bengali isn’t something to overlook either, given that knowledge of the local language forms part of the mandatory eligibility criteria here.
