WAFID Approved Medical Centres in Thiruvananthapuram In Thiruvananthapuram, WAFID-approved clinics help handle medical screening for people heading for Gulf countries. WAFID maintains a list of certified centres and automatically assigns one when you book. Some of the common clinics in this city include: Al‑Shafa Diagnostic Centre, Dr. Nathani’s Diagnostic Clinic, Capital Diagnostic Services and Meditrust Diagnostic & Laboratory, among others. When you visit the assigned centre, you go through required tests — blood work, chest X-ray, physical exam and cardiac check. These help confirm that you do not carry serious infections or health conditions that could block visa approval. You start by booking via the WAFID portal and paying a fee. After payment, you get a medical slip with the centre’s name and appointment date. On your test day, bring your passport, photos and slip. Once tests finish and results come as “fit,” you receive an official medical fitness certificate. That certificate plays a key part in the visa and immigration process for Gulf countries.
