The Civil Service Commission has announced the recruitment of 3, 205 health Workers, across the Country.
Speaking at a press briefing in Lusaka, Civil Service Commission Chairperson, Choolwe Beyani, disclosed that the Commission promoted and transferred 2, 149 officers under the process which was done in two phases.
He has added that this resulted in the recruitment of 2, 205 first appointments, with an additional 1,000 arising from natural attrition, including retirements, resignations, and contract expirations.
Dr Beyani further revealed that Cholera volunteers were employed under this category as well as Persons with disabilities who were allocated 10 percent of the vacancies.
The Commission Chairperson has further announced that names of successful candidates will be published in the Zambia Daily Mail and Times of Zambia on April 10, 2026.
Dr Beyani has urged candidates to collect appointment letters from provincial centers between April 20th 2026 and April 30, 2026, and report to their assigned stations no later than June 1, 2026.
He has warned that any applicant who will not report by the stated date without prior notification risks having their appointment revoked and replaced.
He has emphasised that the recruitment process followed the Service Commissions Act Number 10 of 2016, with Human Resource Management Committees at district and provincial levels ensuring transparency, inclusiveness, and accountability.
Dr Beyani has stated that the Civil Service Commission, Public Service Management Division, and Ministry of Health provided technical oversight at national level, in line with the government’s decentralisation agenda.
He has assured that appointments have therefore been drawn from all provinces of the country ensuring fairness and equal opportunities.
Dr Beyani has further described the recruitment as evidence of the government’s commitment to addressing human resource shortages in the health sector.
“I therefore implore all the newly recruited health workers to take this opportunity given by the President as a challenge to improve the provision of health services in your various fields by placing the needs of the people you are serving first.
“I also urge existing officers to whole-heartedly welcome the newly recruited officers and assist them to settle in their respective roles,” Dr Beyani said.

The appropriate technical term should be Civil Service Commission has Employed 3,000 civil servants and not Recruited civil servants.Recruitent is the process of inviting applications for jobs.Its surprising that the Chairman himself is misleading himself
Isn’t it the same Civil Service Commission that mislead President Lungu to be retiring public servants in the National interest rather than in the Public interest
Why Zambia have this time of favoritism you only recruiting people have their family members in government this is not good at even us we want to work it’s in a public service but you find that when we apply we are not there on daily meal this is now a 3 years we are just applying and we are not being picked Zambia sure this is full tribalism always
