The National Health Mission, Uttarakhand, will conduct a walk-in interview on 17 November 2026, from 9.30 AM, at the Directorate of Health in Dehradun, to fill four contractual specialist posts. The vacancies are for one Obstetrician & Gynaecologist, two Paediatricians and one Anaesthetist, with postings in Champawat, Uttarakashi and Chamoli districts. Candidates need an MBBS with a PG degree or diploma from an MCI-recognised institution and must be aged 65 or under, with relaxation to 70 possible case by case. The posts follow the 'You Quote, We Pay' model: fixed remuneration per NHM Table A plus a monthly top-up the candidate names, up to a ceiling of Rs 4 lakh. The engagement is for an initial 11-month contract.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

These four contractual vacancies under NHM Uttarakhand’s ‘You Quote, We Pay’ model introduce a price-setting mechanism that asks specialist doctors to name their own top-up within a Rs 4 lakh monthly ceiling. The model is meant to attract paediatricians, obstetricians, gynaecologists and anaesthetists to district hospitals in Champawat, Uttarakashi and Chamoli, hard-to-staff mountain districts where the state competes with better-paying urban and private-sector jobs. The fixed component from the existing NHM pay structure remains modest, so the quoted top-up is the real lever. Left unresolved by the notification: whether the state will cap the total remuneration below the ceiling for certain facilities, and how the selection committee will rank candidates when two quote the same amount for one post.
