About Wafid India – Gulf Health Council’s Wafid Program

Wafid, the first of its kind initiative by the Gulf Health Council (GHC), is aimed at protecting public health in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries through the regulation and standardization of the pre-departure medical check-up process for expatriates.

Replacing the previous GAMCA system, the new platform is currently the one-stop gateway for booking medical appointments by those seeking to reside or work in GCC countries.

The Gulf Health Council, made up of the GCC member states’ health ministries, introduced Wafid in order to maintain high medical standards, encourage disease prevention, and enable secure entry procedures. With its digital-first and easy-to-use platform, Wafid provides an automated assignment of appointments free from bias and ensuring a fair, transparent, and corruption-free medical referral procedure. With Wafid, applicants are able to:

  • Register online

  • Pay the service fee

  • Automatically be assigned to a GHC-approved medical center

  • Get authenticated reports that are compliant with GCC immigration authorities

Medical reports produced via Wafid guarantee that medically qualified individuals only enter the area, lessening the likelihood of public health risks and enhancing healthcare outcomes. The tests cover infectious disease screening, general health disorders, and fitness to work.

Wafid keeps developing as a reliable bridge connecting applicants, medical centers, and GCC embassies with the ideologies of trust, health, and integrity. Committed to promoting safe migration, Wafid remains a vital component of the Gulf region’s healthcare policy.
