Punjab Health Cath Lab Jobs 2026 – Quick Facts

Important Dates

This is a separate recruitment from the department’s other current round for Medical Officers and Registered Nurses at DHQ Hospital Sheikhupura and THQ hospitals in Lahore (advertisement SPL-1084, closing 26 November). That round is already covered on niams.pk. The Cath Lab round advertised here is the one with reference IPL-11927, and its four post titles and 15 districts are different.

Cath Lab Vacancy Breakdown – 4 Post Categories

The advertisement lists four job categories but does not state how many seats each category carries, or a total seat count. Applicants should not read the four titles as four total vacancies. The department will fill the posts across 15 districts, and the portal shows the placement options when you apply.

Where the Cath Labs Are – 15 Districts

The advertisement names these 15 districts of Punjab: Attock, Bahawalnagar, Bhakkar, Chakwal, Jhang, Jhelum, Kasur, Khanewal, Layyah, Mandi Bahauddin, Mianwali, Rajanpur, Sheikhupura, Toba Tek Singh and Vehari. The department does not give a separate seat count for each district, so candidates should check the online application system for the placement options open to their post.

Cath Labs bring specialist heart care to district level. They support cardiac investigations and catheter-based procedures, so patients in these districts do not have to travel to a big city hospital for every heart test or procedure. That is why the department is hiring a full team for each lab: a specialist, a medical officer, a technologist and a nurse.

Who Can Apply – Eligibility Criteria

• Interventional Cardiologist: MBBS with FCPS in Interventional Cardiology, or a Diploma of the American Board in Interventional Cardiology, or another equivalent qualification recognised by the Pakistan Medical and Dental Council (PMDC). At least two years of relevant experience. Maximum age 55 years.

• Quotas: Government quotas apply under the prevailing Government of Punjab policy.
• General conditions: The posts are temporary and offered under a special pay package. Appointments are post-specific and non-transferable. Only shortlisted candidates will be called for interview, and no TA/DA is paid.

Why Apply for a Cath Lab Post

Cardiac disease is one of the most common reasons for hospital visits in Punjab, and district Cath Labs are a new layer of the public health system. Working in one puts a doctor, technologist or nurse at the centre of specialist heart care, with hands-on work in imaging, catheter procedures and critical monitoring. For cardiologists and medical officers, it is a chance to lead a district service rather than assist in a crowded city unit. For technologists and nurses, it is specialist experience that is hard to get elsewhere in the public sector.

The special pay package is an added draw, even though the advertisement does not print the amount. Candidates should check the portal for the package details for their post before applying, and should not rely on salary figures printed by other websites, which do not come from the advertisement.
