Medical Officer

This role is ideal for medical professionals seeking a contractual position in public health, specifically within the HIV/AIDS control program in Odisha. Candidates should be willing to work under the guidance of senior medical officers, manage patient care including investigations and treatment protocols for HIV/AIDS and associated infections, and coordinate with other departments. Experience in ART Centre operations or public health initiatives would be beneficial. The position suits those who meet the broad age criteria (25-70 years) and are comfortable with a one-year renewable contract.

This position is not suitable for individuals seeking permanent government employment, as it is purely contractual and renewable annually based on performance. It is also unsuitable for those looking for a role with a high number of vacancies or clear career progression paths beyond the one-year contract. Candidates unwilling to apply via speed post/registered post or those who do not meet the minimum age of 25 years as of 01.07.2026 should not apply. Those expecting explicit details on educational qualifications within this advertisement might find it lacking, as full details are referenced to an external website.

Working at Pandit Raghunath Murmu Medical College & Hospital, an institution under the Government of Odisha's Department of Health and Family Welfare, offers public sector experience in a critical area of health services (HIV/AIDS control). While the role is contractual with a single vacancy, it provides valuable experience in a state-level medical college and hospital, which can be prestigious for those committed to public health, especially within specific disease control programs. Long-term growth may involve renewal of contract and deeper engagement within public health projects in Odisha, but clear promotional avenues are not outlined.
