The Punjab Family Planning Program’s Project Implementation Unit manages the recruitment, deployment, and performance monitoring of community health professionals stationed at their nearest union councils.

Q: How to apply for Maryam Nawaz Community Health Services jobs 2026?

Apply online at www.epr.org.pk before 16 June 2026. Complete the online application form with your personal details, PNMC registration information, and qualifications. For detailed eligibility criteria, visit chipshealthpunjab.gov.pk or call the helpline at 1033.

Q: What is PNMC registration and how do I get it?

PNMC (Pakistan Nursing & Midwifery Council) is the federal regulatory body for nursing and midwifery practice in Pakistan. PNMC issues registration to qualified nurses, midwives, LHVs, and community midwives after verifying their educational credentials from recognized nursing/midwifery schools. To obtain PNMC registration, graduates from approved nursing or midwifery training programs apply directly to PNMC with their certificates, training completion documents, and required fee. All clinical health positions in this Punjab Family Planning Program hiring require a valid, current PNMC registration.

Q: What is the salary for Punjab Family Planning Program positions 2026?

All positions in this recruitment — Community Health Inspector, Charge Nurse, Lady Health Visitor, Midwife, Community Midwife, and Family Welfare Worker — carry a fixed salary of Rs. 50,000 per month. This is a fixed monthly package. For full details of any additional allowances or employment terms, visit chipshealthpunjab.gov.pk or call 1033.

Q: Can I get posted near my home district?

Yes. The Punjab Family Planning Program has specifically designed the posting system to prefer posting candidates at the Union Council nearest to their home. This means that if you are from a specific district, you will likely be posted in or near your own community — making these positions ideal for locally rooted health professionals who want to serve their own communities without relocating far from their families.

Q: What is the difference between a Midwife and a Community Midwife?

Both are PNMC-registered birth attendants, but they differ in training and deployment context. A Midwife typically has 18-month to 3-year formal midwifery training and is often based at health facilities. A Community Midwife (CMW) is trained through a 18-month community midwifery training program specifically designed for rural deployment — CMWs are particularly focused on reaching remote communities for home-based antenatal care and attended deliveries. CMWs are a key cadre in Pakistan’s Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (MNCH) program.

Q: What is a Lady Health Visitor (LHV) in Pakistan?

A Lady Health Visitor (LHV) is a mid-level healthcare provider in Pakistan’s primary healthcare system, trained in a 2-year post-matriculation Lady Health Visitor course from a recognized institution. LHVs are licensed to provide antenatal and postnatal care, assist in normal deliveries, provide family planning services, conduct immunizations, and offer community health education. LHVs are registered with PNMC and serve as a critical bridge between community health workers and clinical nursing staff in Pakistan’s public health system.

Q: What is a Family Welfare Worker (FWW) in Punjab?

A Family Welfare Worker (FWW) is a community-level family planning service provider trained and deployed by Pakistan’s Population Welfare Department and Health Department for household-level family planning counselling and supply distribution. FWWs visit homes in their assigned area, register eligible couples, counsel them on family planning methods, provide oral contraceptives and condoms, and refer clients requiring clinical services to health facilities. FWWs are a cornerstone of Pakistan’s contraceptive prevalence improvement strategy.

Q: What is Maryam Nawaz Community Health Services?

Maryam Nawaz Community Health Services is a Punjab government initiative under the Health & Population Department, named after Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, aimed at expanding community-level primary healthcare and family planning service delivery across Punjab. The program operates a network of community health clinics and deploys community health workers to union councils across Punjab’s 36 districts, focusing on improving maternal health, increasing contraceptive uptake, and reducing maternal and child mortality in underserved communities.

Q: What is epr.org.pk?

EPR (Employees Placement Roster) at epr.org.pk is the Punjab government’s centralized online platform for registering and placing candidates in government job vacancies. Many Punjab government departments use EPR to advertise vacancies and collect applications online. Candidates create a profile and submit applications through the EPR portal, which manages the selection and placement process for participating government entities.

Q: Is this Punjab Family Planning Program a permanent or contract job?

The advertisement describes this as a Project Implementation Unit — indicating these are contract positions tied to the Maryam Nawaz Community Health Services project. The specific contract duration and renewal terms should be verified at chipshealthpunjab.gov.pk or by calling the 1033 helpline before applying, as project-based positions have defined terms that differ from regular government employment.

Q: Are male candidates eligible for Punjab Family Planning Program positions?

The clinical positions listed (Charge Nurse, LHV, Midwife, Community Midwife) are predominantly female-exclusive in Pakistan’s healthcare context as they involve maternal and reproductive health services provided to women. The Community Health Inspector and Family Welfare Worker roles have historically included both male and female workers in Pakistan’s public health programs, though the predominant deployment is female-led given the target beneficiary population. Candidates should confirm gender eligibility for each position at chipshealthpunjab.gov.pk before applying.

Q: Can candidates from outside Punjab apply for these positions?

This is a Punjab government program with positions across all districts of Punjab. While a specific domicile requirement has not been listed in the available information, the proximity-based posting preference (“nearest UC to candidate’s home”) strongly implies that candidates are expected to be local to Punjab. Visit chipshealthpunjab.gov.pk or call 1033 to confirm domicile requirements before applying.

Q: What is the helpline 1033 for Punjab Health Department?

1033 is the Punjab Health Department’s official helpline number, accessible to the public for health service information, complaint registration, and general queries related to Punjab’s public health programs. For this recruitment, it can be used to ask about eligibility criteria, PNMC registration requirements, application process, posting preferences, and other recruitment-related questions about the Maryam Nawaz Community Health Services program.

Q: What is the age limit for Punjab Family Planning Program 2026 jobs?

The maximum age limit for all positions in this recruitment is 43 years. This is a relatively high age ceiling compared to many government positions, making the program accessible to experienced health workers who may be in their late 30s or early 40s. The age is presumably calculated as of the last date of application submission on 16 June 2026.
