Saudi Arabia launches online medical exam booking for newly arrived domestic workers

RIYADH — Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) has introduced an online service for booking medical examination appointments for newly arrived domestic workers. Through the integration of the Musaned recruitment platform and the Sehhaty application, and in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, the service aims to simplify procedures for employers, improve their experience in accessing services and facilitate the completion of requirements for issuing residency permits (iqamas). The new service allows employers to automatically view the details of their domestic workers through the Sehhaty application upon their arrival in the Kingdom, select the nearest accredited health center, and book and manage medical examination appointments electronically. Employers can complete the booking process without visiting a health center in person, saving time and effort while helping reduce waiting periods. The integration forms part of ongoing efforts to develop the digital recruitment process through the Musaned platform, covering the entire journey from the worker’s country of origin to the issuance of a residency permit in accordance with Saudi regulations. By connecting services and simplifying related procedures, the initiative aims to improve service quality and accessibility, support the ministry’s digital transformation efforts and enhance beneficiaries’ trust in the services provided.RIYADH — Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development (MHRSD) has introduced an online service for booking medical examination appointments for newly arrived domestic workers.
