The National Department of Health (NDoH) is gearing up for a significant recruitment drive following the approval of its new structure by the Department of Personnel Management (DPM). In a bid to ensure a robust, transparent, and effective recruitment process, the NDoH has enlisted the expertise of a reputable, independent PNG-based recruitment firm. The PNG Australia Transition to Health (PATH) program has been engaged to evaluate submissions for Expressions of Interest and appoint the selected firm. This process is expected to finish within the week. The selected recruitment firm will assist NDoH with advertising and filling 164 priority positions, including high-ranking roles such as Deputy Secretary and Senior Executive management positions. The recruitment process for these priority positions is expected to be completed by June 2024, with a plan in place to address the remaining positions thereafter. The NDoH is committed to selecting the right people for the right roles through an open, competitive, recruitment process, setting a precedence for driving excellence within the healthcare sector.
