Abu Dhabi has simplified the process of booking appointments for visa medical screening services.

The Abu Dhabi Health Services Company (SEHA), has launched a dedicated app for residents to book their slots at SEHA’s Disease Prevention & Screening Centres.

Previously, applicants visited the centres on a walk-in basis, but they now have the option to select an allotted time, ensuring a seamless process.

The 'SEHA Visa Screening' app is currently available for individual bookings only, but the application will be expanded to include businesses at a later stage.

SEHA runs 12 Disease Prevention & Screening Centres located in Abu Dhabi City, Mussafah, Al Shahama, Baniyas and Etihad Visa Screening Centre, in addition to Sweihan, Al Ain, Madinat Zayed, Delma, Sila, Ghayathi and Al Marfa.
