Common Medical Tests in the Wafid Examination

If you’re planning to work in Saudi Arabia, the Wafid medical examination (formerly known as the GAMCA medical test) is a mandatory step for visa processing. At Wafidbooking.com, we simplify your appointment booking process — but it also helps to know what to expect. Here's a quick guide to the common medical tests included in the Wafid examination.

1. Blood Tests

Blood tests are conducted to check for infectious diseases such as:

  • HIV
     
  • Hepatitis B & C
     
  • Syphilis
     
  • Malaria
     

These are essential to ensure public health safety in the GCC countries.

2. Chest X-ray

A chest X-ray is performed to detect any signs of tuberculosis (TB). A clear chest X-ray is crucial for passing the medical exam.

3. Urine Test

A simple urine test helps identify diabetes, kidney issues, or infections that might impact your ability to work abroad.

4. Physical Examination

Doctors check your height, weight, vision, hearing, and overall physical condition. Any signs of chronic or communicable diseases could affect your approval.
