The service specifically enables employers to book medical examination appointments for newly arrived domestic workers through electronic integration between the national recruitment platform Musaned and the Ministry of Health’s Sehhaty application.

This cooperation aims to improve the digital journey associated with recruiting domestic workers and completing the requirements necessary for their lawful residence in the Kingdom.

The ministry confirmed that employers can arrange medical examination appointments electronically without visiting a healthcare centre merely to make the booking.

According to the official announcement published on November 9, 2026, the service allows the information of newly arrived domestic workers to appear automatically in the Sehhaty application following their arrival in Saudi Arabia.

This functionality relies on the integration of existing recruitment information through Musaned with the electronic healthcare appointment system.

Employers can then review the available worker information, select the nearest approved healthcare centre, and arrange a suitable appointment for the required medical examination.

The service also allows appointments to be managed electronically, providing an additional level of convenience during the post-arrival administrative process.

The development is particularly significant because medical examination procedures form part of the steps needed to complete the residence arrangements for newly recruited domestic workers.

By bringing appointment booking into the Sehhaty application, the government aims to reduce the number of separate procedures employers must navigate after a worker arrives.

The ability to select an approved healthcare centre also helps users organize the examination according to the available service locations and appointment options.

However, electronic appointment booking does not eliminate the medical examination itself, and the worker must still attend the appropriate healthcare facility according to the applicable requirements.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development explained that the integration forms part of a broader effort to develop the digital recruitment journey through the Musaned platform.

That journey begins while the worker is still in the country of recruitment and continues through arrival in Saudi Arabia and completion of the procedures needed for lawful residence.

Connecting different government systems is intended to improve the movement of information between service stages and reduce unnecessary repetition for employers.

It also supports the government’s wider objective of simplifying electronic transactions and improving access to public services.

According to the official statement, the primary purpose is to save time and effort for employers while making medical examination appointments easier to arrange.

The integration is also expected to help reduce waiting times associated with the appointment booking process and improve the overall experience of using approved healthcare services.

Importantly, the announced service is intended for employers of newly arrived domestic workers rather than every category of expatriate employee working in Saudi Arabia.

Eligibility is connected to the worker’s information being made available through the integration between Musaned and Sehhaty after arrival in the Kingdom.

The new feature should therefore be distinguished from the wider healthcare services that Sehhaty provides to citizens and residents under other service categories.

The announcement does not mean that all immigration or residence procedures have been replaced by a single medical appointment.

To benefit from the service, an employer can access the Sehhaty application and review the details of the newly arrived domestic worker once they have appeared through the linked government systems.

The employer may then select an approved healthcare centre, book the required medical examination appointment, and manage the appointment through the application’s available functions.

Users are encouraged to verify that the worker has arrived in the Kingdom and that the relevant information is correctly displayed before attempting to complete the booking.

If the worker’s details do not appear or an appointment cannot be completed, the appropriate official support channels should be used to clarify the problem.

The ministry’s statement focuses on simplifying the appointment process and does not announce a new residence permit category or changes to the underlying medical examination requirements.

It also does not specify a newly introduced fee for this particular booking integration, so any claims about additional charges should be verified against official government information.

The new arrangement adds another digital capability to the Musaned recruitment ecosystem, which already supports employers with various recruitment and administrative services.

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development emphasized that integration between government platforms contributes to improving service quality, accessibility, and confidence in electronic procedures.

Employers are encouraged to use the official Musaned and Sehhaty platforms rather than unofficial booking links or intermediaries that request personal information.

Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development and Ministry of Health remain the official sources for verifying service availability, application procedures, and any future changes to medical examination appointment booking for newly arrived domestic workers.
