Most Malaysian employers will ask for a medical examination before confirming employment in order to ensure that the applicant is suited for the position and for meeting any company or industry standards. Pre-employment medical examinations in our branches in Ukay Boulevard, Desa Melawati and Setiawangsa are offered by WeCare Clinic, with accurate reporting that applicants and employers can trust.
If you are an applicant who needs a medical examination for your employment offer, or an HR department that needs a medical examination process for their new hires, our pre-employment screening is the best way to go.
A pre-employment medical checkup usually involves a combination of the following, depending on the job type and/or particular employer guidelines:
| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| General physical exam | Height, weight, BMI, blood pressure, and overall physical condition |
| Review of any medical history | Any existing illnesses, medication, or particular medical history |
| Basic blood tests | Usually full blood count, blood sugar level, and any other parameters that may be needed for the particular job |
| Vision and hearing tests | Particularly if relevant to the job type |
| Urinalysis | A usual element in pre-employment screening packages |
| Chest X-ray or lung function test | If needed for particular jobs; arranged through referral, as X-ray equipment is not available at WeCare Clinic |
| Medical fitness for the job test | Doctor’s overall assessment of medical suitability for the particular job |
In order to ensure that your medical examination goes without a hitch, please bring along the following:
If you are unsure about what your employer is asking for, it would be wise to ask your employer.
Pre-employment medical examinations usually take only one visit to complete, although the turnaround of results varies according to the type of testing done:

| Physical exam results | Generally known at the time of your appointment |
| Basic blood test results | Normally available within 1 to 3 business days |
| X-ray referral results | Depends on the turnaround period of the radiology centre, normally within a few days |
| Consolidated final report | Prepared once all results are received, then provided to the applicant or employer |
