Starting 20 August 2025, the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) is rolling out free confirmatory medical exams for new Filipino residents at the Medical Commission in Qatar.
Why It Matters
These exams act as follow-ups to the health screenings already done in the Philippines before departure. The goal? To make sure all new arrivals are free from communicable diseases and to keep public health standards strong in Qatar.
