How it works
Your visit, step by step
One appointment covers the examination, the laboratory samples and the X-ray. Here is exactly what to expect.
- 1
Register
Come to the centre with your passport and, if you are travelling for work, your recruiting agency's referral. Registration takes a few minutes and we open your examination record on the spot.
- 2
Medical examination
A registered medical officer records your vitals and carries out the physical, vision and systemic examination required by the destination country.
- 3
Samples & X-ray
Blood and urine samples are collected and your chest X-ray is taken in the same visit, so there is no need to come back for a second appointment.
- 4
Laboratory analysis
Haematology, serology and clinical chemistry are processed and each result is checked against its reference range before it reaches the doctor.
- 5
Certification
The medical officer reviews every result together, then certifies the consolidated medical examination report. Nothing is issued until the doctor has signed it.
- 6
Report issued
Your report is released to you or to your recruiting agency. Individual test reports can be issued separately when a foreign bureau asks for them.
Before you come
What to bring
Having these ready keeps your registration to a few minutes and avoids a second trip.
- Your passport (original) and a photocopy of the data page
- Recent passport-size photographs
- Your recruiting agency's referral letter, if you have one
- The destination country and job category you are applying for
- Details of any medicines you take and any past surgery
Come in the morning
Blood samples taken early reach the laboratory the same morning, which is the difference between a report tomorrow and a report the day after. If a fasting glucose is required, an early appointment also means a shorter fast.
- Monday – Friday
- 8.00 a.m. – 5.00 p.m.
- Saturday
- 8.00 a.m. – 1.00 p.m.
- Sunday & Poya days
- Closed
Questions
Frequently asked
If your question is not here, call us — we would rather answer it before your visit than after.
Do I need to fast before the tests?
For a fasting blood glucose, come without breakfast — no food for 8 to 10 hours, water is fine. If you have already eaten, tell us at registration and we will either take a random sample or arrange a time to return.
How long does the visit take?
Most examinations are finished within a couple of hours, provided you arrive early enough for the samples to reach the laboratory the same morning. Busy periods can take longer, so an appointment helps.
When will my report be ready?
Laboratory results are usually available the next working day, and the report is released once the medical officer has reviewed and certified every result. Call us if your agency has a deadline and we will tell you what is realistic.
Can my agency collect the report for me?
Yes. Reports can be released to the recruiting agency that referred you. Agencies can also access reports through our online portal.
What happens if a result is abnormal?
The medical officer will discuss the finding with you and explain whether a repeat test, treatment or a specialist referral is needed. Nothing is certified until the doctor is satisfied the result is correct.
Do you examine women differently?
The examination is the same, with a pregnancy test and last menstrual period recorded where applicable. Tell us at registration if you are, or may be, pregnant — particularly before the chest X-ray.
