Lagos State Government has commenced the recruitment of clinical personnel across its 29 secondary healthcare facilities in a bid to strengthen healthcare service delivery and address manpower shortages within the state’s health sector.
The Lagos State Health Service Commission disclosed this in a statement issued on Monday, noting that the recruitment exercise was approved by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu to fill vacant positions in government-owned general hospitals across the state.
According to the commission, the initiative aligns with the administration’s THEMES Agenda and reflects its commitment to improving access to quality healthcare for residents.
The commission said the recruitment is also aimed at mitigating the impact of the ongoing brain drain affecting the health sector while enhancing the capacity of public healthcare institutions.
Vacancies are available for consultants in various specialties, senior registrars, medical officers, dental officers, pharmacists, physiotherapists, medical laboratory scientists, optometrists, radiographers, nursing officers, clinical psychologists and health assistants.
Interested applicants are required to submit their applications online through the Lagos State Health Service Commission recruitment portal.
The commission announced that the application process commenced on Monday, July 13, 2026, and will remain open until Friday, July 24, 2026.
It added that only candidates who are shortlisted would be invited to participate in a computer-based test, CBT, and an interview.
The commission also cautioned applicants against making payments to any individual or organisation, stressing that the recruitment exercise is free of charge.
