MOM defers medical exams for migrant domestic workers

Employers who received notices have until 30 April to have their workers seen.

The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) will defer the six-monthly medical examination for migrant domestic workers and other female work permit holders to ease the workload faced by healthcare providers.

Employers who received notices dated January and February 2022 for their workers but have not sent them for examination will now have until 30 April 2022 to do so. Employers whose workers are due to receive their notices in March and April 2022 will be notified of the new date by post and e-mail from the end-April instead.

Should employers need to send their workers to the clinics for a medical examination at this time, they will not be turned away. However, the MOM strongly encourages employers to defer the visit unless there is a need for medical attention.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
