STATE OWNED FIRM INTENDS TO MAKE YEARLY MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS MORE CONVENIENT FOR EMPLOYERS AND THEIR FOREIGN WORKERS
-
A more secure and efficient process in the medical examination of Sabah’s foreign workers is on the cards under the State-owned WH Medicare Sdn Bhd.
The wholly owned subsidiary of the State Government’s strategic investment arm Qhazanah Sabah Berhad (QSB) is working towards improving the processes of the required annual medical examinations for foreign workers here.
QSB Chief Communications Officer Muhammad Khairulnizam Hasnan (pic) said WH Medicare’s planned future upgrades for the foreign workers medical examination include the introduction of a biometric system.
“This means the foreign workers who undergo medical examinations would be identified by their fingerprints apart from their personal documents,” he said.
“This would go a long way in ensuring the identities of workers that are to undergo the medical examinations,” Khairulnizam added.
He said WH Medicare was also looking at introducing the digitalisation of x-ray images of the respective foreign workers, adding that the move would help speed up the processing of the medical examinations.
