Work Culture & Environment

Office/fieldwork balance, duties, organizational environment.

Medical Officers recruited under NHM and Pradhan Mantri Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (PMABHIM) in U.T. Chandigarh serve across urban primary health centres (UPHCs), health and wellness centres (Ayushman Arogya Mandirs), maternity & child health clinics, or Civil Hospitals/GMSH-16. Responsibilities involve outpatient clinical care, antenatal/postnatal care, immunization monitoring, implementation of national health programs (TB, NCD screening, maternal health), and disease surveillance. Doctors operate in structured day shifts with rotational emergency or camp duties.

Posting & Transfer Policy

Initial posting criteria, zone preferences, transfer liability.

Stationed at designated government health facilities or dispensaries across the Union Territory of Chandigarh. Engagement is on a contractual basis initially up to March 31, 2027, extendable based on annual performance appraisal, conduct, and continuation of central program approvals from the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW).

Career & Promotion Ladder

Promotion timeline, seniority ladder, pay grade scaling.

Because the appointment is purely contractual under NHM / PMABHIM guidelines at a fixed consolidated salary of Rs. 72,072/- per month, there is no automatic cadre promotion or permanent regularization under the Chandigarh Administration. However, clinical experience in NHM facilities in Chandigarh carries weightage for PG medical entrance examinations (NEET-PG in-service quota/incentive marks where applicable), UPSC Combined Medical Services, and permanent state health cadre selections.
