Frequently asked questions

Is GAMCA and Wafid the same thing?

Yes — the program was rebranded to Wafid; older documents still say GAMCA.

Can I retake if UNFIT?

Some findings allow retest after treatment (TB, minor infections); others like HIV are GCC-wide bars.

Every Bangladeshi travelling to a GCC country for work or residency must pass the GAMCA medical fitness examination — rebranded as Wafid. ‘Qatar medical report check’ is one of the most common GCC visa queries from Bangladesh.

How the process works

You cannot choose your center — the GAMCA/Wafid system assigns one based on your passport and city. Book online, attend the assigned center with your passport and fee (USD 90–140), and complete blood tests, a chest X-ray and infectious-disease screening. Reports land in 1–3 days at most centers.

What can make a report UNFIT

Finding	Typical Outcome	Retest Possible?
Active TB (X-ray)	UNFIT — treatment period required	Yes, after 3–6 months
HIV positive	UNFIT — GCC visa barred	No
Hepatitis B (surface antigen)	UNFIT for most work categories	Category dependent
Pregnancy (some categories)	Conditional — category dependent	N/A
