Turkey’s top health authority on Tuesday announced the Health Ministry will employ 12,000 new health personnel as part of the country’s measures to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
“THE APPOINTMENTS WILL STRENGTEN US”
The ministry is set to appoint 7,000 nurses, 1,700 midwives, and 2,864 health technicians in 14 different fields, Health Minister Fahrettin Koca said on Twitter.
The appointments will be made following applicants’ online submission of their preferences for placements, without an interview process. “The appointments will strengthen us in these difficult days of our struggle with the pandemic,” Koca said.
The minister also briefly shared details of the application and appointment processes.
Starting this week, Turkey imposed a partial weekend curfew from 8 p.m. to 10 a.m. local time.
