Saudi Arabia Digitises Medical Booking for New Domestic Workers
Employers can now book medical examination appointments for newly arrived domestic workers online, through the Musaned platform integrated with the Sehhaty app.
Saudi Arabia has launched an online service to book medical exams for newly arrived domestic workers via Musaned and Sehhaty, to speed up residency permits.
Saudi Arabia has launched a digital service that lets employers book medical examination appointments for newly arrived domestic workers through an online platform. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) announced the service, which integrates the Musaned recruitment platform with the Sehhaty application in collaboration with the Ministry of Health.
How It Works
Once a worker arrives in Saudi Arabia, the employer can access the worker’s information through Sehhaty. The employer then selects the nearest approved medical centre, schedules the examination appointments and manages the bookings electronically, without needing to visit a healthcare facility just to arrange them.
Purpose
The medical examinations are needed to issue residency permits (iqamas). The service covers the worker’s journey from their home country through completion of residency procedures.
Benefits
The service saves employers time, reduces administrative work and shortens waiting periods.
