Odisha: Short-Term Covid-19 Healthcare Workers To Get Benefits In State Govt Recruitment

Thousands of short-term healthcare workers, such as Nursing Officers, Pharmacists, Radiographers, Laboratory Technicians, and MPHW(M/F), were employed by the government in District Headquarters Hospitals, Medical College & Hospitals, and other Covid-care Centers throughout the state during the Covid-19 pandemic.

With the contribution of short-term health care workers during the pandemic in mind, the government has now framed the Odisha grant of weightage in marks in the Recruitment for Short-Term Covid-19 Healthcare workers Rules, 2022.
According to the rules, short-term healthcare workers who have been employed for at least three months will be given a 5% weightage in the next OSSSC recruitment examination for the positions of Nursing Officers, Pharmacists, Radiographers, Laboratory Technicians, and Multipurpose Healthcare Worker.

This will be a one-time measure. Thousands of candidates for the above posts are likely to be benefited by this.
