Medical Report Check

How to use

Reference number — the numeric code on your medical fitness receipt or SMS confirmation. It is usually 6–15 digits.

Date of birth — select your date of birth using the date picker. It must match the DOB recorded during your medical examination.

Privacy — We do not store your data. Your request is forwarded directly to Dubai Health and the response is shown to you immediately.

Understanding result statuses

Result Issued — Your result has been issued. This does not mean passed or failed. To check the exact pass/fail outcome, please check the email sent to you for the report or visit the nearest health center.

Follow Up in Process — You have been requested to do a follow-up of your medical for some reason. Details have already been sent to your email.

Troubleshooting

• Double-check the reference number for typos or missing leading zeros.
• Ensure the date of birth matches the one used during registration.
• If you just completed the exam, results may take a few hours to appear.
• Try again later if the service is temporarily unavailable.

What is Salem?

Salem is Dubai's unified medical fitness screening system operated under the Dubai Health Authority (DHA). It is mandatory for most UAE residence visas issued in Dubai. Salem conducts medical fitness tests, blood screening (e.g. infectious diseases), chest X-ray (TB screening), and digitally links results to immigration for visa processing.

Who needs Salem?

• New residence visa applicants (employment, family, domestic workers, etc.)
• People renewing residence visas
• Those changing visa status (e.g. visit to employment)

It is not required for tourist visas or short-term visit visas.

What does the medical fitness test include?

• Blood test — screening for HIV, Hepatitis B (for certain job categories), and other infectious diseases
• Chest X-ray — tuberculosis (TB) screening
• Biometric capture — at some centers
• Additional tests — may be required for specific professions (e.g. healthcare, domestic workers)

What happens after the test?

If the result is “Medically Fit”, your visa process continues. If “Unfit”, the residence visa cannot be issued. Processing usually takes 24–48 hours (regular) or same day (express, higher fee).

Typical visa process flow

1. Entry permit issued
