Ministry of Health: 38 Thousand Non-Physician Personnel Recruitment and 31 Thousand 54 Positions Are Different

Details regarding the Ministry of Health personnel recruitment processes, which have been a subject of curiosity among health personnel candidates, have become clear. It has been reported that the recruitment of 38 thousand non-physician personnel announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and the 2027 contract health personnel position decision for 31 thousand 54 people published in the Official Gazette are separate processes.

The vast majority of the 31 thousand 54 positions determined by Presidential Decree No. 2026/339 consist of physicians. According to the decision, 25 thousand 955 of these positions are allocated for specialist physicians and 5 thousand 61 for physicians. For non-physician titles, there are only 38 positions in this decision; these consist of 25 health officers, 9 midwives, 2 nurses, 1 dietitian, and 1 health technician.

On the other hand, the recruitment of 38 thousand non-physician personnel on the agenda of the candidates refers to a completely separate process. While the application calendar and branch distribution for the 38 thousand recruitment have not yet been clarified, it is stated that the announcement process is ongoing.
