The full form of GAMCA is Gulf Approved Medical Centres Association.
GAMCA is an organization that facilitates medical examinations for individuals seeking to work or reside in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. These GCC countries include:
- Bahrain
- Kuwait
- Oman
- Qatar
- Saudi Arabia
- United Arab Emirates (UAE)
The association aims to ensure that individuals entering these countries are medically fit and do not pose a public health risk. GAMCA accredited medical centers conduct these medical examinations, following standardized procedures and guidelines.
The medical examination typically includes:
- Physical examination
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Chest X-ray
- Vision test
- Other tests as required
The results of the examination are then submitted to GAMCA, who will provide a medical clearance certificate if the individual meets the required health standards. This certificate is often a necessary document for visa processing for entry into GCC countries for employment purposes.
