What is the Punjab Healthcare Commission and why is it hiring?

PHC is an autonomous body set up under the Punjab Healthcare Commission Act 2010. It registers and licenses hospitals, clinics, laboratories and other healthcare establishments, inspects them against minimum service delivery standards and acts against quackery. Most of the posts in this round sit in the Inspections function, which is why the commission wants MBBS or BDS graduates with field experience rather than purely administrative staff.

The vacancies were advertised in mid-October 2026 under advertisement reference IPL-10871. The notice does not state how many seats are open for each post, so treat the list below as a set of positions rather than a headcount. PHC has also said it can increase or reduce the number of positions at any stage.

How do you apply for Punjab Healthcare Commission jobs?

There are two different routes, and sending your papers through the wrong one will get the application rejected.

Deputy Director, Manager and Officer posts (online)

Go to the PHC website (phc.org.pk) and download the job description and the fee challan form for your post.
Deposit the fee as instructed on the challan: Rs 2,000 for Deputy Director posts, Rs 1,000 for Manager and Officer posts.
Open the PHC careers portal at os.phc.org.pk, select the post and complete the online application form.
Upload a scanned copy of the paid challan. An application without the paid challan is treated as incomplete.
Check every entry before you submit; PHC says incomplete applications will be rejected.

Cleaner posts (by post)

Write an application for the post and city you are applying for.
Attach a recent passport-size photograph, an updated CV and a copy of your valid CNIC.
Get a demand draft or pay order of Rs 500 in favour of "Punjab Healthcare Commission".
Send the envelope to the Director (HR & Support Services), Punjab Healthcare Commission, 185 Ahmad Block, New Garden Town, Lahore-54000, so that it arrives by 28 October 2026. PHC's careers page asks applicants to write the post title on the top right corner of the envelope.

Rules that apply to every applicant

Employees of government, semi-government and autonomous bodies, and existing PHC staff, must apply through the proper channel and attach a fresh No Objection Certificate (NOC).
Only shortlisted candidates are contacted. PHC may hold an aptitude or computer test before interviews.
No TA/DA is paid for tests, assessments or interviews.
Fees are non-refundable, even if you are not shortlisted.
Candidates who already applied under IPL No. 7746 (closing date 17 August 2026) for the same post do not need to apply again.

Scam warning: how to keep your application safe

The advertisement names no agents or intermediaries, and nobody can "arrange" a shortlisting for a fee. The only payments involved are the printed challan fee deposited in a bank, or the Rs 500 pay order for cleaner posts. Treat any WhatsApp message, Facebook page or phone call asking for extra money, a "processing charge" or your CNIC details as a scam. Use only phc.org.pk, the os.phc.org.pk portal and the head-office postal address printed in the advertisement.

Is a PHC job right for you?

Doctors and dentists who want to move from clinical practice into regulation, quality assurance and health-system management will find the Inspections posts the most natural fit. Fresh graduates in administration, finance or accounts have a rare entry point through the Officer (Administration) post, which asks for zero to three years of experience. If your profile does not match, you can browse current openings on Jobsiz for jobs in Lahore and across Pakistan, or check the latest provincial recruitment round in our PPSC Advertisement 11/2026 guide, which includes Senior Registrar posts for specialist doctors.
