SEHA launches mobile visa screening clinic in UAE
A new Mobile Visa Screening Clinic has been launched in Abu Dhabi to make it easier for employees to undergo a medical test for visa purposes without leaving their office.
The new service, launched by Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA) on Wednesday (May 25), deploys a mobile clinic at workplaces across Abu Dhabi.
Dr. Omar Abdulrahman Al Hashmi, Chief Clinical Officer at SEHA Ambulatory Healthcare Services (AHS), said the mobile clinic can operate 24 hours a day, and on weekends and holidays.
The move aligns with the Abu Dhabi Health Services Company's continuous efforts to expand and improve access to visa screening services for corporations.
Dr. Al Hashmi said the mobile clinic service complements visa screening services currently available at 12 disease prevention centres.
"Large companies will benefit from the new mobile clinic, which will provide visa screening services to employees at their workplace, therefore reducing time away from work. We will also be operating the mobile clinic in line with each company's needs and can function 24 hours a day or on weekends and holidays, if need be," Dr. Al Hashmi said.
The mobile clinic features two examination rooms, two x-ray rooms, a blood collection room, and two waiting areas with 12 chairs. The client's journey, which takes 15 to 30 minutes, begins with registration, followed by examination, blood collection, and x-ray.
Some clients may be required to take the hepatitis vaccination, which is administered in three doses, with the first given on the same day and subsequent doses scheduled at a later date.
Clients do not need to return to the mobile clinic to pick up their results, as these are integrated within the online network operated by the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Authority.
Companies interested in booking the Mobile Visa Screening Clinic can email mobilevisascreening@seha.ae. Individuals can book an appointment through the newly launched Seha Visa Screening app. KSO/Expat Media
