Health institutions and offices across chosen districts in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa face a complete freeze on hiring activities until further notice, as ordered by the provincial Health Department.

District Health Officers and Tehsil Headquarters hospitals received instructions via an official notification to stop all current and upcoming hiring processes right away.

Every phase of employment is blocked under these new rules, which apply to job notices, screening tests, candidate interviews, and merit list compilation.

Officials are also banned from issuing appointment letters, letting chosen applicants start work, or making fresh postings until new instructions arrive.

Any breach of these orders will result in direct accountability for the responsible officers, the notification cautions.
