ACCRA, Ghana — 26 October 2026. Ghana's Ministry of Health has announced an application window from 27 to 29 October 2026 for the 36th batch of medical officers and dentists who have completed housemanship and received Medical and Dental Council verification.
Citi Newsroom's account of the notice directs eligible candidates to mohrecruitment.com and says applications are free. Applicants should confirm the opening hour through the ministry because published accounts give conflicting times.
The October exercise covers 36th-batch medical officers and dentists who completed housemanship and obtained Medical and Dental Council verification. Applications are directed to mohrecruitment.com, with a 29 October 2026 deadline. Applicants should pay no recruitment fee and confirm the opening hour with the ministry.
Who is covered by this intake?
The notice identifies three conditions: applicants must belong to the 36th batch, have completed their house job, and have been verified by the Medical and Dental Council. It concerns medical officers and dentists, rather than a general invitation to everyone seeking work in the health sector.
Candidates still completing housemanship, or waiting for verification, should ask the responsible authority about their individual position. They should not assume that an application window removes the stated requirements. Equally, a doctor who applied during an earlier exercise should seek instructions on whether a fresh submission is needed.
Graphic Online's October report says candidates will select preferred districts and agencies through the recruitment platform. A preference is a request within the application process; it should not be treated as a guaranteed posting to a particular facility.
What are the dates, and why does the opening hour need checking?
The consistently reported opening date is Tuesday, 27 October, and the submission deadline is Thursday, 29 October 2026.
The hour is less clear. Citi reports an opening at 03:10, while Graphic's article and MyJoyOnline's account say 10:00. The reproduced notice attached to Graphic's story gives 03:10, conflicting with that article's text. These times should not be presented as interchangeable.

Graphic Online's October report says candidates will select preferred districts and agencies through the recruitment platform. A preference is a request within the application process; it should not be treated as a guaranteed posting to a particular facility.
What are the dates, and why does the opening hour need checking?
The consistently reported opening date is Tuesday, 27 October, and the submission deadline is Thursday, 29 October 2026.
The hour is less clear. Citi reports an opening at 03:10, while Graphic's article and MyJoyOnline's account say 10:00. The reproduced notice attached to Graphic's story gives 03:10, conflicting with that article's text. These times should not be presented as interchangeable.
Applicants using Ghana's clock should seek the latest ministry clarification. For readers elsewhere, Ghana uses GMT, three hours behind East Africa: 03:10 GMT corresponds to 06:10 EAT, while 10:00 GMT corresponds to 13:00 EAT. Neither conversion resolves the underlying discrepancy.
The closing date is clear, but a definitive closing hour is not established by the notice and the corroborating accounts used here. Applicants should submit before 29 October if possible rather than assume that a midnight cutoff has been confirmed.
How to prepare and submit an application
The notice names mohrecruitment.com as the application destination. Access to its live application screens could not be confirmed during this check. The following preparation steps are practical guidance, rather than a claim about the portal's current fields:
ADVERTISEMENT
Confirm that your batch, completed housemanship and Council verification match the notice.
Obtain the current recruitment instructions through Ministry of Health channels and check the website spelling before entering personal information.
Follow the authentic portal's instructions for choosing districts and agencies. Do not rely on a copied form from another recruitment round.
Review the details before submission. If the system provides a reference number or acknowledgement, retain it for your records.
Follow up through official channels if your eligibility or submission status remains unclear.
No particular upload format, account-registration sequence, password rule or login identifier is established here. Applicants should follow the genuine platform's instructions rather than an unofficial step-by-step guide that guesses its screens.
No payment is required for recruitment
The ministry's warning is explicit: applicants should not pay anyone for this process. A claim that an intermediary can secure a preferred district or accelerate selection should therefore be checked with the ministry before any personal information or money changes hands.
The Ministry of Health's official contact page lists +233 302 665651 and info@moh.gov.gh. These are general ministry contacts, not a separately verified recruitment helpline. Candidates can use them to ask where an opening-time clarification or application problem should be directed.
Keep October's notice separate from earlier recruitment
The batch number alone does not identify the current application window. Graphic's July recruitment report also concerned the 36th batch, but described applications from 8 to 15 July 2026 and additional arrangements for certain earlier-batch applicants.

Those July conditions should not automatically be transferred to October. This includes the earlier agency list, deadline hour and provisions for the 34th and 35th batches. Anyone relying on those provisions needs a current instruction confirming that they still apply.
Other employment notices have separate audiences and procedures. XTRAfrica's Ghana–USVI recruitment explainer concerns an overseas framework for teachers and nurses. Its security-service recruitment guide and GES promotion-status guide cover different domestic processes. None determines eligibility for this medical intake.
What an application does not yet establish
The recruitment announcement is a step towards filling staffing gaps, but it does not establish how many officers will be appointed, their final facilities, salary terms or reporting dates. It also does not demonstrate that additional staff have already begun work or that services have expanded.
For candidates, the next concrete steps are the ministry's opening-time clarification, access to the authentic application platform and successful submission within the announced dates. Appointment and deployment instructions must then come from the responsible authorities.
