NHM Kerala medical jobs 2026 - district by district

NHM's fourteen district units publish the largest number of medical notifications in Kerala, each with a walk-in interview or a short application window and a fixed remuneration. Registration with the relevant Kerala council is mandatory, originals are checked on the day, and selection is by marks and interview. Contracts are for one year and renewable, and NHM experience earns weightage in later Kerala PSC health notifications. Remote districts pay more and re-advertise. Use the district pages to see NHM notices in your district, and this page for the state-wide list.
