What Is a FOMEMA Medical Check-Up?
FOMEMA medical check-ups are compulsory health screenings for foreign workers employed in Malaysia, as required by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Immigration Department. The purpose of this screening is to ensure that all foreign workers are medically fit to work and free from infectious or serious diseases that could affect public health or workplace safety.
This examination is typically required for workers such as:
- Construction workers
- Domestic helpers or maids
- Manufacturing and factory workers
- Agricultural and plantation workers
- Service industry workers, such as cleaners and restaurant staff
What Does the FOMEMA Medical Examination Include?
Physical Examination
A doctor will conduct a full-body check-up to assess overall fitness. This includes height, weight, blood pressure, heart, lungs, and vision to ensure the worker can safely perform job duties. Any signs of infectious diseases or disabilities are also evaluated.
Chest X-Ray
The chest X-ray is performed to screen for tuberculosis (TB). Since TB is a contagious disease, this test helps ensure that infected individuals receive treatment before entering the workforce.
Blood and Urine Tests
These laboratory tests detect infectious and chronic diseases such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C, diabetes, and signs of drug use. They also help assess kidney and liver health when needed. All tests are processed in certified labs for accuracy.
Reproductive and Infectious Disease Screening
Depending on job type or medical history, additional tests may include screening for syphilis, other STIs, or pregnancy (for female workers). This helps identify conditions that may require follow-up care.
Medical History and Declaration
The doctor will review the worker’s past illnesses, hospitalizations, and vaccination records to support accurate diagnosis. All findings are submitted securely through the FOMEMA system in compliance with official medical guidelines.
Why the FOMEMA Check-Up Is Important
This screening is an essential part of maintaining workplace health and safety. Through early detection of infectious or chronic conditions, the FOMEMA program helps:
- Prevent the spread of communicable diseases
- Ensure workers are fit for their assigned duties
- Support a safe and productive working environment
- Fulfill mandatory legal requirements for employment renewal
Employers are responsible for ensuring their workers complete the check-up within the required period after arrival or before work permit renewal.
How the Process Works
The process begins when an employer registers their foreign worker for a FOMEMA medical screening through the official FOMEMA online system. Employers should ensure the registration is done early to avoid delays in work permit renewal.
Once registered, the worker will visit a FOMEMA-approved clinic, such as ours, for the examination. During this visit, our doctor will verify identification details and perform the required medical checks. It’s important that the worker brings valid documents such as their passport and FOMEMA registration slip.
After the initial consultation, blood and urine samples are collected to test for infectious and chronic diseases. A chest X-ray will also be conducted at an approved radiology center to screen for tuberculosis (TB) and other lung-related conditions.
Once all tests are completed, the clinic uploads the medical results directly to the FOMEMA online system. This digital submission ensures that the data is transmitted securely and quickly for official review. The system automatically flags any health concerns that may require further evaluation or retesting.
After FOMEMA reviews and approves the results, the information is automatically linked to the Immigration Department’s work permit system. If the worker is certified fit, the employer can proceed with the permit renewal process without additional paperwork.
Employers and workers can also check the status of the screening online, making it easier to track progress and manage deadlines.
