The Civil Service Commission (CSC) has announced that it is seeking applications for the post of Director General of Public Health at the Health Protection Agency (HPA).

The post is ranked at level 10 in the public service and carries a basic salary of MVR 21,844, along with multiple allowances, including a post allowance of MVR 12,534 and an attendance allowance of MVR 339 per day.
The successful candidate will work within the Health Services and Health Policy Department. Applicants must meet the basic eligibility requirements, hold relevant education and experience, and possess a preferred discipline certificate. Selection will be based on performance in an examination, a presentation, and an interview.
The deadline for applications is 14:00 on Wednesday next week.
