Expat Workers Soar in Medical Exams
The article focused on the efforts of the Jordanian Ministry of Health to reduce the turnaround time for medical examinations of foreign workers, decreasing it from three days to 24 hours. This adjustment aligns with the Prime Minister’s decision to regularize the status of the workforce. It was announced that around 90,000 foreigners underwent examinations in July and August, representing an increase of about 30,000 compared to the previous two months. The examinations include chest X-rays for tuberculosis detection, blood tests for HIV, hepatitis, syphilis, and pregnancy tests for domestic workers. Additionally, working hours have been extended, and extra centers have been designated to expedite results, with coordination with laboratories to deliver results within 24 hours after sampling.
