入境后的体检流程 Post-Arrival Medical Examination Process

外国工人医疗检查监测局（FOMEMA）是马来西亚政府设立的机构，专门负责管理外籍劳工的医疗检查。

体检何时进行？

外籍劳工必须在抵达马来西亚后的 30 天内完成体检。确保外籍劳工的身体健康状况符合工作与公共卫生要求。

每年都要检查吗？

是的。根据现有政策，所有外籍劳工都必须进行年度健康体检（FOMEMA, 2024d）。

如果体检未通过，该怎么办？

若体检结果显示外籍劳工患有传染病（如肺结核）或其他被认为不适合继续工作的疾病，雇主必须按照规定安排外籍劳工尽快回国。

体检费用由谁承担？

体检费用：男性 RM209，女性 RM219，通常由雇主负责支付。

外籍劳工就医困境

医疗费用高：即便在政府医院，门诊费用也在 RM5–RM50 之间，对于外籍劳工而言仍是负担，导致许多人即使生病也不就医。

身份问题：没有合法身份的劳工出于担心身份暴露，往往避免前往医院就医（Loganathan et al., 2019）。

Post-Arrival Medical Examination Process

FOMEMA (Foreign Workers Medical Examination Monitoring Agency) is a Malaysian government agency responsible for overseeing the medical screening of migrant workers.

When should a medical check-up be conducted?

Migrant workers must undergo a medical examination within 30 days after arriving in Malaysia to ensure their health condition meets occupational and public health requirements.

Is the medical check-up required every year?

Yes. Under current regulations, all migrant workers are required to undergo an annual health screening (FOMEMA, 2024d).

What happens if a worker fails the medical check-up?

If the medical examination shows that the worker has a communicable disease (such as tuberculosis) or any condition deemed unsuitable for continued employment, the employer must arrange for the worker to return to their home country as soon as possible in accordance with regulations.

Who pays for the medical check-up?

The medical examination cost is typically paid by the employer. The usual fee is RM209 and RM219 for men and women respectively.

Healthcare Challenges Faced by Migrant Workers High medical costs

Even at government hospitals, outpatient fees range from RM5 to RM50, which can still be a financial burden for migrant workers. As a result, many avoid seeking medical care even when they are ill.

Issues related to legal status

Illegal workers often avoid visiting clinics or hospitals due to fear of arrest or having their status exposed (Loganathan et al., 2019).
