POSITION : Lab Technician
NUMBER OF POSITIONS : 8 (Eight)
REPORTS TO : District Lead
LOCATION :Designated health facilities in the following districts:
• Katihar and Saharsa in Bihar
• Mirzapur and Gazipur in UP
Posting Date : 12/11/2026
Closing Date : 22/11/2026
Background
World Health Partners (WHP) is a non-profit organization mandated to deliver holistic healthcare to underserved communities by innovatively leveraging available resources more efficiently. Evidence-based management and technological solutions that are sophisticated to work in extremely low-resource settings are the hallmarks of WHP’s programming strategy. WHP believes that it is unconscionable to divide resources on ideological basis—such as public and private sectors—since low resource settings mandate a focus on collectivizing all existing resources to achieve better outcomes.
WHP is best known for its programs focused on early detection and treatment of tuberculosis in urban and rural settings supported by community-based activities to ensure prevention. WHP currently operates its projects in Bihar, Delhi, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Uttarakhand, Uttarakhand and Odisha.
About the project
WHP has been selected to implement Intensified Case Finding (ICF) under Tuberculosis Implementation Research Agreement (TIFA) of select Medical Colleges (MCs), District Hospitals (DHs) and Community Health Centres (CHCs) in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. These health facilities (MCs, DHs and CHCs) serve as a strong, yet underexplored, opportunity to identify missing cases, and integrate them into the care cascade. Medical colleges and district hospitals in India serve as tertiary referral hubs, witnessing massive daily footfalls in Outpatient Departments (OPDs) and high bed occupancy in wards, contributing to low notification of total cases consistently for decades. Despite the high potential, medical colleges, for example, face massive pre-testing attrition, with the majority of symptomatic patients dropping out between the initial screening and the laboratory.
WHP is looking for Lab Technicians based in various districts of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh for the ground-level implementation of the ICF project supported by TIFA, who would be based at the select health facilities (MCs/DHs/CHCs) to ensure timely, accurate, and quality-assured TB testing, including proper sample collection, processing, testing, documentation, reporting of results, and coordination for prompt referral and linkage of diagnosed patients to appropriate TB treatment and care.
Key Responsibilities
• Register the KVPs and presumptive patients and referral details before X-ray.
• Explain the procedure and ensure the patient is appropriately positioned.
• Collect, receive, label, and process sputum samples from individuals identified as presumptive TB cases, following standard procedures.
• Perform or facilitate TB diagnostic testing, including NAAT/CBNAAT/Cy-TB and other tests as per applicable NTEP protocols.
• Ensure proper sample quality, storage, packaging, and transportation to the designated testing laboratory where required.
• Maintain accurate records of samples collected, tests conducted, results, and pending/referral cases.
• Ensure timely reporting of test results to the concerned Medical Officer/TB programme staff and appropriate digital platforms.
• Follow infection prevention and control and biosafety practices while handling potentially infectious specimens.
• Ensure proper functioning and routine maintenance of laboratory equipment, and promptly report technical issues or stock/equipment requirements.
• Monitor availability of laboratory consumables, including sputum containers, reagents, PPE, and other essential supplies.
• Coordinate with the screening, clinical, and TB programme teams to ensure timely testing and linkage of diagnosed TB patients to treatment.
• Support quality assurance activities and participate in training, supervision, and review meetings related to TB diagnostics.
• Follow data management & documentation for all the activities performed in the district, such as data updated in the designated App and at the web portal.
• Participate in the Project Review Meetings conducted at the health facility or district levels
• Undertake any other activities and responsibilities as reasonably required by the project and organisation
Qualifications and Skills:
• DMLT / Diploma in or B.Sc. in Medical Laboratory Technology (BMLT) or a relevant degree from a recognised institution.
• Good knowledge of sputum/sample collection, handling, labelling, storage, and transportation.
• Basic understanding of TB diagnostic algorithms and NTEP guidelines.
• Ability to operate and maintain laboratory/diagnostic equipment as per SOPs.
• Basic computer proficiency and ability to use digital reporting systems/portals.
• Good communication skills and ability to interact professionally with patients and healthfacility staff.
