Key Takeaways
AIThe Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, in cooperation with the Ministry of Health, has launched an electronic service enabling employers to book medical examination appointments for newly arrived domestic workers in Saudi Arabia.
The booking is facilitated through integration between the national recruitment platform, Musaned, and the Sehhaty app, aiming to streamline procedures for employers, enhance their service experience, and simplify the process of completing residency permit requirements.
This service allows employers to automatically view the details of domestic workers upon their arrival in the Kingdom via the Sehhaty app, select the nearest approved health center, and book and manage medical exam appointments electronically, eliminating the need to visit the center in person to make a reservation. This reduces time, effort, and waiting periods.
This integration is part of the ongoing development of the digital recruitment journey through the Musaned platform, which covers the process from the worker's home country to the official issuance of residency in Saudi Arabia. It connects related services and streamlines procedures as part of the ministry's digital transformation strategy and efforts to boost user confidence.
