- 18-09-2023
In recent years, many people have been looking for employment in Gulf countries. This is because it charges minimal taxes and offers a high salary. Their high standard of living and health facilities have led to a rise in demand for jobs in GCC countries. But a job application isn’t easy. You need to undergo a medical test to ensure that you are free of any contagious diseases that will be detrimental to the citizens of the Gulf nations. Once your Wafid medical slip is approved job application and settling in these countries becomes easy.
Know the type of error
The typographical errors include name, nationality, age, passport number, etc. This is easier to correct.
The medical error, which gives a false “fit” or “unfit” status or a wrong diagnosis, is difficult to correct.
Reach out to the centre immediately.
1)Once you notice the error in the slip, contact the GAMCA-authorised medical centre where the tests have been conducted.
2) Tell them about the discrepancy in the report, a medical or typographical error and prove it with evidence. For instance, in case of a wrong medical diagnosis, show them your previous medical reports to prove your point.
3)The approved medical centre where you underwent the medical examinations has to apply for a “change request” to wafid system.
4) Get the change request number from the centre and the date of its submission. This will help in tracking.
5) Remember, authentic centres never charge fees for changing details. Thus, you do not have to pay an extra amount for correcting your information.
Take Wafid's support (if the centre is not responding)
Some medical centres are not helpful, or they are unable to solve your issue; feel free to take support from the Gulf Health Council.
Know the current email id from the official website and mail them for support.
Attach all details- your passport number, the error, a screenshot of the wrong medical report if possible and wafid medical slip.
Give details about the medical centre, and if you have the change request number, send it to them.
Declaring the wrong “unfit” status
If you are doubting the medical diagnosis, ask for a detailed report and the reason behind declaring you unfit.
Reach out to a renowned specialist doctor to review the reports. For instance, in case of doubtful pulmonary reports, go to an independent pulmonologist and get re-examined to prove your medical status.
Access to the GAMCA results is difficult unless you have clear evidence of error.
Contact the embassy of the GCC country you plan to visit, as they will assist you in this procedure.
Re-examination
If the medical report provided by the centre is valid, wait for a mandatory period and undergo treatment.
Do not re-test during this period.
A medical test is compulsory before applying for jobs in Gulf countries. Thus, it is essential to book appointments at an authorised medical centre. Contact the leading and most reliable wafid provider, M/S Gulf Appointment Service, to get constant support and guidance throughout your journey.
