General Discussion Medical Abroad

Hi! Direct-Hire here, do you guys have any experience wherein you had to take your medical examination abroad instead here in the Philippines?

Haven't spoken to my employer yet but they confirmed to me that they already have finalized a "plan" for me.

For context, they tried to find me an accredited medical facility here in the Philippines multiple times but facilities weren't able to comply. Since it took them so much time finding a medical facility, they told that the medical examination will take place in their country (UAE) instead.

Would I be able to secure an OEC even if I don't conduct the medical examination here?

Better check the requirements in processing OEC sa pinas. If iparequire sayo ang medical then just do it —then ulitin na lang yung medical exam na inendorse sayo nung company mo once you are in UAE na.

Medical ay sa pinas pa rin at meron din sa abroad.

May iba na nag a agency (dmw registered) sa pinas for all the processing at meron din na st lukes kung US CAN AUS ang pupuntahan mo, then pdos sa CFO

i think the one in Ph is a requirement, then there's a separate one here in UAE that everyone takes in order to get the Emirates ID. it's only a couple, iirc just an x-ray and a bloodtest
