I am writing this job information with a heavy heart, but with a lot of excitement also included in it. A very close friend of mine, a pediatric surgeon, has worked tirelessly for many years, as I have watched him grow before my eyes. He works late nights, always having emergency calls, and holds the pressure of tiny lives in his hands. This morning, when I woke up and was looking for a fresh job post, I just came across these job postings from the Punjab Specialized Healthcare & Medical Education Department. The first thought that hit my mind is of him and all the other hard-working and dedicated medical professionals out there who deserve a rewarding, stable career in the government sector.
The details that I will mention below are not just job openings - these are the career chances for skilled doctors who can make a noticeable difference in Punjab's healthcare sector while they are also building and securing their futures in the medical field. If this relates to you or you are a medical specialist or you know someone who is, might be your friend, cousin, or family member, you need to read through this with close attention because the deadline is not far away, it is November 28, 2025, and we are already halfway through the month.
Let me write down the details of these jobs that I found, and I promise I will try my best to give you the information in the simplest way that can be possible because I know it can be confusing to know the terminology of medical job postings.
