Frequently Asked Questions

Candidates should be prepared to demonstrate proficiency in ICD-10 diagnostic coding and its alignment with procedure codes. Knowledge of the Uniform Patient Fees Schedule (UPFS) and PMB conditions (CDL/DTP) is highly critical for the technical evaluation.
Yes. While the basic requirement is General Nursing, a post-basic SANC-accredited qualification in ICU or Critical Care Science (R212) is explicitly listed as an added advantage for these positions.
No. This is specifically designated as a Non-OSD Level 8 post. While it requires SANC registration as a Professional Nurse, the salary and benefits follow the standard Public Service scales rather than the OSD for Nurses.
