Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) Recruitment 2026: 10 Vacancies for Medical Officers, Lab Techs & Others

This recruitment is ideally suited for experienced medical and allied healthcare professionals, as well as support staff, particularly ex-servicemen, seeking contractual employment within the Ministry of Defence. Candidates must possess the specific educational qualifications and relevant work experience (ranging from 3 to 5 years) for roles such as Medical Officer, Lab Tech, Nurse, Pharmacist, Driver, and Attendant. A willingness to work in Doda, Jammu & Kashmir, on a one-year contractual basis (11 months for civil candidates), is essential.

Individuals aspiring for permanent central government positions should not apply, as these roles are strictly contractual and temporary. Those without the mandatory minimum work experience for the respective posts, or who exceed the specified maximum age limits, will also not be considered. Candidates unwilling to relocate to/work in Doda, J&K, or those not prepared for an unpaid 10-day On-Job Training (OJT) period, should also refrain from applying.

Working with the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) under the Ministry of Defence offers an opportunity to contribute to a central government healthcare initiative. While the roles are contractual and for a specific polyclinic, they provide valuable experience within a respected institution. Long-term growth opportunities directly from these contractual positions may be limited, but the experience gained is significant, especially for ex-servicemen looking to continue their service in a civilian capacity.
