Ensuring the health and well-being of Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) is not just a matter of personal care but a regulatory necessity. This is where medical examinations play a crucial role. Regular health check-ups are essential for MDWs, serving as a safeguard for workers and employers. These examinations are about compliance with legal requirements and ensuring a safe, healthy, and productive working environment.


At the forefront of championing these high standards is Best Home Employment Agency, a name synonymous with trust and excellence in the domestic helper sector in Singapore. Best Home is not just committed to fulfilling the basic requirements set by the authorities; they go above and beyond to ensure the health and well-being of their MDWs. This commitment is reflected in their rigorous medical examination protocols and comprehensive care for their workers.


Understanding the 6-Monthly Medical Examination (6ME)




Central to the health monitoring of MDWs in Singapore is the 6-monthly Medical Examination (6ME). This bi-annual health check is more than just a routine procedure; it's a critical measure to ensure domestic workers' ongoing health and fitness. The 6ME includes a series of tests and evaluations designed to detect any health issues that might affect the ability of the workers to perform their duties effectively.


The mandatory nature of the 6ME underscores its importance. It's a regulatory requirement that every employer and employment agency must adhere to, without exception. This examination covers various aspects of health, including tests for infectious diseases and overall physical well-being. The goal is to identify and address any health concerns early, ensuring that MDWs can continue to work in a safe and healthy environment.


Best Home’s Approach to MDW Medical Examinations

Best Home Employment Agency sets itself apart by offering affordable yet comprehensive medical examinations for Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs). Understanding the financial burden that medical expenses can impose on employers, Best Home has strategically partnered with esteemed clinics to provide exclusive corporate rates. 


This initiative ensures that MDWs can access top-tier medical services at significantly reduced costs, including the 6-monthly Medical Examination (6ME), General Practitioner consultations, and even dental services. This approach not only alleviates the financial strain on employers but also encourages regular and thorough medical check-ups, ensuring the health and well-being of MDWs.


Pre-Medical Screening: A Step Further

Best Home Employment Agency doesn't stop at just fulfilling the mandatory medical requirements. They take a proactive approach by conducting meticulous pre-medical screenings of candidates overseas. This process is not just about ticking boxes; it's about ensuring the utmost accuracy and comprehensiveness in health assessments. 


Best Home deploys qualified nurses to perform these physical checks, which include a thorough evaluation of vital signs, height, weight, blood pressure, sugar levels, and eye checks. This hands-on approach ensures that potential medical issues are identified and addressed early on, setting a new standard in the industry for health screening.


Training and Selection Process



Once candidates pass the rigorous pre-medical screening are ushered into Best Home's comprehensive training and selection process. This process will equip the helpers with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in their roles. The training encompasses:


  • Practical Training: This hands-on training covers all aspects of household management, including cleaning, cooking, and caregiving, ensuring that the helpers are well-prepared for their duties.

  • Online Training in Native Languages: Best Home recognizes the importance of clear and effective communication and provides training modules in the helpers' native languages. This approach ensures that the helpers fully understand the training material, leading to better learning outcomes.


Best Home's training department is spearheaded by an ex-MOM (Ministry of Manpower) Director, who brings a wealth of experience and expertise. This leadership ensures that the training is not only comprehensive but also aligned with the latest industry standards and best practices.


Best Home Employment Agency's approach to MDW medical examinations, pre-medical screening, and training is a testament to their commitment to excellence. By providing affordable medical services, conducting thorough health screenings, and offering comprehensive training, Best Home ensures that their MDWs are medically fit and well-prepared to provide the best service to their employers. This holistic approach sets Best Home apart as a leader in the domestic helper industry in Singapore.
