Experience (FOR FEMALE BENEFICIARY):

I booked my medical for 9.30 am but I got there early at 9 am. The lady at the counter allow me to register. It is a regular clinic where sick people can see the doctor too. It might be crowded on your medical day. The lady at the counter asked me for my passport and ONE photo(2x2 inches). She will then fill in your detail on a piece of paper with a form attached behind the paper. She then asked you to sit down and wait. After waiting for a couple of minutes which is probably around 10 minutes. Another nurse came out of the first room and pass me a cup and asked me to urine in it. After I did that, I pass it back to her and she have the cup urine transferred into a tiny bottle. She then asked me to stand at a square near the table. She have me read the chart with words on it. Cover your left eye and read, repeat the same for the right. If you wear spectacles which I did, she have me remove my spectacles and do the same. I told her I could not see without my spectacles. After that, She have me sit on the bed and took my blood pressure. After she is done, I went into the doctor's office and sat down. Waited a couple of minutes for the doctor to come in. He then tell me that he wants to ask me questions. He then asked a long list of question regarding drugs usage, smoking etc etc. I can't remember the exact question. I have asthma so I answered yes to that question. After he is done asking all the questions on the form. He further discuss about my asthma. He asked me when was my last attack, drug usage for asthma, how frequently do they attack and since how old did I get it. He have that scribble on a piece of plain paper for the report I guess.

After he is done scribbling, he told me that he is going to do a very detail check on me. He have me lay on the bed with another nurse in the room. He asked me to unbutton my pants and unhook my bra. He then checked my stomach for something and then bend my knee and elbow and used something to knock it to check for reflect action. He then said he needs me to remove my pants for a few seconds and said "I will not touch you, I just want to see." He used about 2 seconds after I remove my pants to check on my private area. After that he have me put back on my pants. He then said "this time I need to touch your breast, he then touch the side of my breast to check for stuff (I don't know what stuff). He then close the lights and make me focus on the wall so that he can check both of eyes. After that, he have me stand my pull the lower half of my jeans up so that he can check on my calves. THAT IS ALL FOR THE CHECK UP!

After that, the doctor inject me with MMR because that's the only shot I need. He then took my blood after he is done with MMR. He then told me that since i have medical history (asthma), I will not be able to collect my report so my report will be sent directly to the embassy. He said I could go for my X-ray which will be at another place.

I finished at around 10.30 am so the entire medical only took about an hour and the half.

Went for lunch after I am done with medical and then head straight for x-ray.

I had my medical on dec 16 at the same place. My experience is the same minus the eye checking with the lights off. My eyesight is good

It was a good experience. The staff there were very nice and friendly. I recommend this clinic for medical.

P/s the nurse told me that I'm supposed to get a shot for chicken pox but they were out of stock but it is not a problem. That is why the medical is cheaper
