Abstract

Employers licensed to hire foreign workers must ensure that they are seen by the Medical Committee within thirty days of arriving in the Kingdom (Art. 2).

The Medical Committee is responsible for signing the foreign worker’s medical report in order to verify his physical fitness, issuing a certificate in this regard and notifying the Regulatory Labour Market Authority of the result (Art. 3).

The Medical Committee shall notify the Authority within 24 hours of signing the medical report of a foreign worker, if he is found to be unfit for work or has an infectious disease (Art. 4).
