The Health Centres (with a team of doctors, nurses, a pharmacist and a lab technician) provide primary health services to the patients targeting a cluster of urban settlements in its neighborhood

The Community Health Workers support the patients and the target community at large on health awareness and health education, community-level screening, follow-ups etc. in coordination with the Health Centre teams

Collaborate with local government and not-for-profit organisations to facilitate access to holistic health interventions

This is challenging but tremendously fulfilling work. You will be making a tangible difference in the lives of those who need it the most.

To succeed in this role (Medical Officer), we expect you to have:

An unwavering commitment to serve the communities, and the resilience to work full-time (6 days a week, Mon-Sat) in an evolving environment

An MBBS degree and KMC registration

Fluency in Kannada and Hindi language is preferred, as is previous experience working in underserved communities
