The District Health Officer Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, periodically announces government vacancies for paramedical, technical, and support staff to strengthen primary healthcare services across the district. These recruitments are commonly handled through the Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA), the official testing body for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government jobs. Applications are submitted online only via the ETEA portal.
As of late July 2026, no major new District Health Officer Mardan-specific advertisement was actively listed on the ETEA website among the current open projects. Similar District Health Officer Mardan recruitments were open or recently closed in other districts (such as Kohat, DI Khan, and Upper Chitral). The most recent detailed District Health Officer Mardan paramedical recruitment occurred in mid-2025. Candidates should regularly monitor the official ETEA site for any fresh 2026 announcements, as new need-based posts can appear at any time.
Background on District Health Officer Mardan Recruitments
The Office of the District Health Officer Mardan manages Basic Health Units (BHUs), Rural Health Centres (RHCs), Tehsil Headquarters Hospitals, and related primary care facilities. Vacancies typically arise for positions that support Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), maternal and child health, technical maintenance of medical equipment, and supervisory roles in the Lady Health Worker (LHW) programme.
Recruitments are usually need-based or contractual/fixed-pay and give preference to candidates with domicile of District Mardan (or, in some cases, adjacent districts if local candidates are insufficient). Quotas for women, minorities, and persons with disabilities generally apply as per Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government rules. Age relaxation is also available under government policy.

How to Apply Online via ETEA (Standard Process for District Health Officer Mardan/Health Jobs)
The application process is fully online and identical for most ETEA-managed health department and District Health Officer Mardan posts:
- Visit the official ETEA website: www.etea.edu.pk (or etea.online).
