More About The Programme:
Over a million people were vaccinated against Covid-19 through mobile outreach services (Ke Ready Campaign) in informal settlements and rural areas. As a result, 87 outreach vehicles were provided to reach young people so to provide them with basic health care services.
The main aim of the programme extension is to help reach more young people and to encourage them to get vaccinated while giving them primary health services as well.
Please Note:
This is a summary of the vacancies from the DGMT. More details are listed on the DGMT website. While all other roles will be office based, all drivers, district communicators, and nurses will be based on mobile clinics and thus would be required to be on the road most of the time. On the other hand, doctors and social workers will be required for part of their working week.
