Unmasking hidden health hazards with annual tests

PETALING JAYA: Health checks on foreign workers have to be done every year because some diseases may not present symptoms during screening but would only manifest later, says the Foreign Workers Medical Examination Monitoring Agency (Fomema).

Its CEO Dr Mohd Afiq Farhan Md Hanif said Fomema selects the diseases it screens for based on robust data analysis and the latest health guidelines.
