No medical fitness tests for labourers at Satwa
DUBAI — The Dubai Health Authority has announced that labourers who wish to obtain their medical fitness test will have to go to Al Quoz centre, instead of Al Satwa centre.
From June 12, the Al Satwa Centre will conduct medical fitness tests only for families and females. The centre will also cater to fast-track medical fitness services, which is available in all the medical fitness centres in Dubai.
Maisa Al Bustani, Director of Medical Fitness at the DHA said, “The aim of this change is twofold. Firstly, it will be convenient for labourers to visit the Al Quoz centre because of its location and space.”
The centre has 150 chairs in the waiting area as opposed to 50 chairs in the Al Satwa branch. “Secondly, the move will also ease the rush at Al Satwa centre which has always been a dynamic branch because it is one of the oldest medical centers in the Emirate.”
The Al Satwa centre will continue to work from 7am to 9pm and will accept 500 clients in the morning shift (from 7 to 2.30) and 300 in the evening shift (2.30 to 9) whereas the Al Quoz branch, which is located in Al Quoz Industrial Area 3 will accept more than 600 clients per day and will be open from 8am to 5pm.
Al Bustani clarified that this change is only applicable for Al Satwa branch and that all the other centres will continue to function as is.
The DHA has a total of 15 centres, including centres in DIFC, Al Safa, Al Mankhool, Al Khawaneej, Al Twar and Airport centre.
The Al Karama Centre will also open shortly. Al Bustani added that in addition to this, there are two more ongoing projects which will be announced soon.
