UKOOA Medical – Where?

Please note that the Ming Clinic in Singapore has changed location to :-

The Ming Clinic,
1 Orchard Boulevard #04-01/02,
The Camden Medical Center,
Singapore 248649.
Tel: +65 62358166.

Also note that UKOOA is not accepted everywhere and you may require ‘other’ medicals at certain locations in the world.
This means it is possible to have to go through several medicals in one year instead of once every 3 years, 2 years or yearly, dependant on age. Why is this ?, well, one Doctor told me that they err… ‘didn’t trust’ for want of a better phrase, ‘outside medicals’. Maybe they had dealings with false documents, who knows ?.
Anyway it’s no big deal, as long as you have a good heart, are willing to absorb a few ‘X’ rays and part with some blood and urine, hopefully not all at the same time though 😉

Note :-
The divers medical exams are a lot more stringent.
If you have any physical problems offshore such as a heart attack or other major complications, you are generally a long way from receiving a fully equipped medical team such as found at a General Hospital. To put it bluntly, your chances of recovery are less. Therefore, it’s both in yours and the Clients best interests that you are ‘fit for offshore work’.

Hi Gina,

There’s also 2 Docs in Bangkok now who are UKOOA qual’d. both in Bumrumgard Hospital.

scotbeve,

Can you give contact details for the doctors in Thailand? Thanks

I sent an email to Bumrangrad Hospital inquiring about UKOOA medicals and this is their reply:

Thank you for your e-mail.
Regarding your inquiry, kindly note that we do not provide particular package for UKOOA medical check-up. However, you might send a list of your requied tests to us by e-mail attachment and then we will pass to the department concern for consideration accordingly.
If we can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Best Regards,
Bumrungrad International Sukontha

So now my question is what exactly is required and is there a specific form I can have the doctor fill out that will be accepted by employers for offshore work?
