The Anambra State Primary Health Care Development Agency (ASPHCDA) has announced the recruitment of 250 health professionals, comprising 200 Community Health Extension Workers (CHEWs) and 50 Midwives, to strengthen healthcare delivery across primary healthcare facilities in the state.
The Executive Secretary of the Agency, Dr. Chizoba Prisca Ezeasor, disclosed this in a recruitment notice dated Nov. 11, inviting suitably qualified and interested candidates to apply for the available positions.
According to the notice, applicants must possess the relevant professional qualifications, registration certificates and valid practising licences required for their respective positions.
Successful applicants must also be willing to reside within the communities where their assigned Primary Health Care (PHC) facilities are located, to promote accessibility and improve healthcare services, particularly in rural and underserved areas.
Dr. Ezeasor explained that the engagement would initially run for one year, with the possibility of renewal based on satisfactory performance and the agency’s operational requirements.
She particularly encouraged qualified retired health workers who are still willing and able to serve to apply, noting that applicants must demonstrate a strong commitment to community based healthcare delivery.
For the application process, interested candidates are required to submit a formal application letter addressed to:
The Executive Secretary,

Applicants must clearly indicate their preferred position (CHEW or Midwife) at the top of the application letter.
They are expected to attach copies of their academic and professional qualifications, valid practising licences and curriculum vitae (CV).
Completed applications should be submitted to the agency’s office in Awka on or before Friday, Nov. 20.
The recruitment is part of efforts to strengthen the primary healthcare workforce and improve access to essential health services across Anambra State.
