How Many Medical Officer, Radiologist, Nursing Assistant & Other Posts are in ECHS Yol Vacancy 2026?
The advertisement does not print a grand total. The 23 figure is the sum of every seat printed in the vacancy grid, polyclinic by polyclinic.
| Polyclinic | Vacancies |
|---|---|
| ECHS Polyclinic Yol | 8 |
| ECHS Polyclinic Hamirpur | 8 |
| ECHS Polyclinic Dehragopipur | 2 |
| ECHS Polyclinic Sarkaghat | 3 |
| ECHS Polyclinic Barsar | 1 |
| Regional ECHS Centre Yol | 1 |
| Total | 23 |
Yol and Hamirpur together hold 16 of the 23 seats, so most openings are at these two polyclinics. If you live near Dehragopipur, Sarkaghat or Barsar, the seats there are fewer, so check which post is open at your nearest polyclinic before you apply. Ex-servicemen, widows of service personnel and Veer Naris get preference across this notice, so if you belong to one of these groups, make sure your application clearly shows it.
These are the thirteen post types named in the notice:
| Post | What the advert says |
|---|---|
| Radiologist | 2 posts – Yol 1, Hamirpur 1 |

The vacancy table in the newspaper print is misaligned, so we have not guessed the post-wise count for the other eleven posts. Please check the post-wise split for your post in the official advertisement PDF (link in Essential Links) and on the ECHS website before you apply. Only the Radiologist and Gynaecologist seats can be read with certainty from the print.
