DOHA: The Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) announced that the Department of Medical Commission will stop issuing the annual health certificates for the workers of the clothes launderers as of the beginning of next March, and only be obliged to perform the necessary medical examinations at Medical Commission when they enter the country for the first time for the purpose of obtaining a work visa.  

This action is in accordance with the recommendations of the concerned authorities in the Ministry of Public Health, the Ministry of Municipality and Environment and the Ministry of Economy and Commerce, since the work of this group does not constitute a danger in the transmission of infectious diseases.
