The Oyo State Government has commenced recruitment into the the state Primary Health Care Board.
The recruitment begins with a two-day computer-based test for candidates at the University of Ibadan Distance Learning Centre, Ajibode, Ibadan.
The state Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade disclosed this in a statement on Thursday.
According to the statement, the state Commissioner for Health, Dr Oluwaserimi Ajetunmobi, emphasised the importance of recruitment, noting that it aims to address the shortage of human resources in the primary health sector.
The Executive Secretary, Oyo State Primary Health Care Board, Dr Muyideen Olatunji, said the Minimum Service Package document prepared by the board revealed a huge gap in the human resource aspect, which, he said, prompted Governor Seyi Makinde to approve the recruitment.
Muyideen who stated that the exercise would afford people access to qualitative healthcare delivery across the state, revealed that the candidates sitting for the examination had applied since 2021.
This is as he added that the two-day CBT exam was the first step in the process, which would be followed by an oral interview.
