What is Medical Report Check Online?

The medical report check online service allows workers and job applicants heading to GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman) to verify their medical fitness status before travel. The check is conducted through Wafid (formerly known as GAMCA), the unified platform managed by the Gulf Health Council for Cooperative Health Council (GHC) member states.

Instead of visiting a medical center to inquire about your status, you can now check your result in seconds using your passport number or your Wafid GCC Slip Number.

What is Wafid / GAMCA?

Wafid is the digital platform of the GCC Health Council that manages pre-employment medical examinations for expatriate workers. Previously this system was known as GAMCA (Gulf Approved Medical Centers Association). All medical centers authorized to conduct GCC pre-employment tests are registered under Wafid.

When you undergo a medical exam at an authorized center, your results are uploaded to the Wafid system. Employers and immigration authorities in GCC countries can then verify your fitness status electronically, removing the need for paper certificates in many cases.

Medical Report Cost and Validity

Cost

The cost of the Wafid / GAMCA pre-employment medical examination varies by country and authorized medical center. In Pakistan, the standard fee is approximately PKR 5,000–6,500. In Bangladesh, it is around BDT 3,500–4,500. The exact fee is fixed by the Wafid authority for each country.

Validity Period

Your medical fitness certificate is valid for 3 months (90 days) from the date of the examination. If your visa is not issued within this period, you will need to undergo a fresh medical examination. Some GCC countries may require re-examination even within 3 months if you had a recent illness.

Authorized Medical Centers

Only Wafid-approved medical centers can conduct the GCC pre-employment medical test. Results from unauthorized clinics or hospitals are not accepted by GCC immigration authorities. You can find the list of approved centers for your country on the official wafid.com website.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• How long does it take for my medical report to appear online? ⌄
  Typically, it takes 24 to 72 hours after your medical examination for your results to be uploaded to the Wafid system. In some cases, especially when specialized lab tests are required, it may take up to 5 working days.
• Can I check someone else’s medical report? ⌄
  Yes. As long as you have the correct passport number and nationality (or the Wafid Slip Number), you can check the status for any individual. However, the information should only be used for legitimate employment and immigration purposes.
• Is this service free? ⌄
  Yes. Checking your medical report status on Wafid is completely free of charge. You only pay at the time of the physical medical examination at the authorized center.
• What should I do if my status shows “Unfit”? ⌄
  An “Unfit” result means you did not pass one or more medical tests. You should consult your personal doctor to understand the reason, seek treatment if necessary, and re-apply for a new medical examination after your condition improves. Many conditions that cause an unfit result are treatable.
• My report says “Fit” but my employer says it is expired. Why? ⌄
  Wafid medical certificates are valid for 3 months only. If more than 90 days have passed since your examination date, your certificate is considered expired even though it previously showed “Fit.” You will need to undergo a fresh medical exam.
• Which GCC countries accept Wafid medical reports? ⌄
  All six GCC member states accept Wafid medical reports: Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman. The Wafid system was specifically designed to standardize pre-employment medical checks across all these countries.
• Can I appeal an “Unfit” decision? ⌄
  Yes. In most countries, you can request a re-examination or appeal by visiting the authorized medical center and presenting additional medical evidence. Some conditions may require evaluation by a specialist hospital designated by the Wafid authorities.
• Do I need a Wafid medical exam for every new job in GCC? ⌄
  Generally, yes. A new pre-employment medical examination is required for each new visa application or employment contract. However, some countries may accept a recent report within its 3-month validity period for a different employer. Check with your recruitment agency or embassy for the specific requirements.
