National Health Mission Arunachal Pradesh Recruitment 2026: 2 Ophthalmologist Posts

This role is ideal for experienced ophthalmologists holding an MBBS degree along with a Master of Surgery (M.S), DNB, or Diploma in Ophthalmology. Candidates should possess practical competency in cataract surgery and ideally have training in sub-specialities like Cornea, Glaucoma, or Medical Retina. A background in community ophthalmology, including screening and health education, would be highly beneficial for this mission-driven position within the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Visual Impairment.

Individuals seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this is a contractual role. Those lacking the essential postgraduate qualifications in ophthalmology (M.S./DNB/Diploma) or who are above 45 years of age will not be eligible. Candidates looking for a role solely focused on clinical practice without community outreach aspects may find this less suitable.

Working with the National Health Mission (NHM) in Arunachal Pradesh offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to public health, specifically in eye care, within a state government framework. While the role is contractual, it provides significant experience in a specialized medical field with a competitive consolidated salary. It offers a chance to work in a challenging and rewarding environment, impacting community health, with potential for professional growth in the public health sector, despite the limited tenure.
