The Ministry of Health has begun a nationwide exercise to ensure doctors are fairly distributed across all regions and districts.
It explained that the initiative forms part of efforts to make quality healthcare accessible to every part of the country.
The ministry urged doctors currently going through the recruitment process to accept postings to hospitals and health facilities where their services are most needed.
It noted that the placement process is being done strictly through its official online portal, adding that no individual or group has been authorized to collect money or influence postings in any way.
The ministry cautioned newly recruited doctors not to deal with middlemen or pay anyone who promises to fast-track or change their postings.
It reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring fairness in the deployment of health professionals, stressing that the equitable distribution of doctors is key to achieving universal health coverage.
The ministry encouraged all qualified doctors to visit its official website and complete their registration before the deadline stated on the portal.
