Fast-tracking foreign worker approvals with same-day medical results
The Jordanian Ministry of Health announced a reduction in the turnaround time for medical examinations for expatriate workers from three days to only 24 hours, in order to expedite their regularization procedures within the deadline set by the government, which continues until the end of September. Working hours have been extended, and additional staff have been allocated to facilitate the issuance of results within a day. This has contributed to an increase in the number of examinations conducted during July and August, totaling approximately 90,000 expatriates compared to 60,000 in previous months. The examinations include screening for pulmonary tuberculosis, blood tests for HIV and hepatitis B and C, syphilis, as well as pregnancy tests and the re-testing for tuberculosis among domestic workers. The goal of this initiative is to significantly speed up the process of rectifying workers’ statuses and to facilitate the issuance of results within a short period.
