What is a GAMCA medical report?
The Wafid medical report check or the GAMCA medical examination is a requirement for applicants from countries under the GAMCA Health Organization expatriate program, including India.
The Wafid medical examination is one of the conditions for obtaining a number of visa types from GCC countries, including employment, residence, work, and family visas.
The GAMCA or Wafid medical report is mainly required to evaluate expatriates’ health and fitness and ensure they are ‘fit’ to work. For this purpose, a medical test will be conducted at GAMCA or Wafid centers in India.
Once the medical test has been conducted, you will receive the medical report online. You can check your Wafid medical report or the GAMCA medical test report online in India using your passport number on the Wafid website.
