Frequently Asked Questions

The Gulf Health Council's expatriate program evaluates health fitness for expatriates to make sure they are FIT to work.

The applicant can’t choose the medical centre since the medical centre is assigned automatically as per the selected city and country.

Change of city is possible after the expiry of the current appointment slip, and the validity of the slip is 31 days.
After that, you may generate a new slip with the desired city. 

The Slip can’t be cancelled but the applicant can generate another one after the expiration of the current Slip in case the applicant didn’t go for the medical examination.

The medical examination result appears within 26 days. 

The applicant should visit the medical centre at the earliest, if possible, visit the medical centre directly after generating the slip.
