Quick Answer: Can I Choose My WAFID Medical Centre?
No. WAFID does not allow applicants to select a specific medical centre during the appointment booking process.
Instead, you select the country and city where you want the examination to take place, along with your travelling country and other required information. The medical centre is then assigned automatically according to the selected city and country.
This means choosing the right examination city is important before completing your booking.
1. How Is the WAFID Medical Centre Assigned?
The WAFID system assigns the medical centre automatically after you provide your examination location.
During the booking process, you select:
What to bring
- Examination country
- Examination city
- Travelling country
- Nationality
- Required candidate information
The medical centre is then assigned automatically based on the selected city and country.
Why Does the City Matter?
Because the assigned medical centre is connected to the examination location you select.
For example, if you select a particular city for your medical examination, WAFID will assign an eligible medical centre according to that selection.
Therefore, check your examination city carefully before submitting the appointment request.
2. Can I Select a Specific WAFID Medical Centre?
No. You cannot choose a particular medical centre yourself.
The official WAFID FAQ specifically states that the applicant cannot choose the medical centre because it is assigned automatically according to the selected city and country.
So, if you already have a preferred clinic in the same city, you should not assume that you can select it during the WAFID booking process.
3. How Can I Check Which WAFID Medical Centres Are Available?
You can check the WAFID medical centre directory before booking.
The official WAFID medical centre search allows you to search using:
- Country
- City
- Medical centre name
The directory also provides available centre information such as address, phone number, email, website, rating and working-hours information where available.
Does Checking the List Mean I Can Choose the Centre?
No.
The directory helps you understand which WAFID medical centres are available in a particular location. It does not mean that you can manually select one of those centres during your appointment booking.
The actual centre assignment is handled by WAFID.
4. What Should I Do After My Medical Centre Is Assigned?
Once your appointment slip is generated, carefully check the information provided on it.
Pay attention to:
- Your name
- Passport details
- Nationality
- Examination city
- Assigned medical centre
- Appointment information
- Slip validity
- Other candidate details
If something appears incorrect, do not simply ignore it. Contact the appropriate medical centre or WAFID support according to the issue.
WAFID also advises applicants to double-check the information entered during booking before submitting it.
5. Can I Change My WAFID Medical Centre?
You generally cannot simply replace the automatically assigned medical centre with another centre of your choice.
If you need a different examination city, WAFID’s FAQ states that a city change is possible after the current appointment slip expires. A new slip can then be generated with the desired city.
This is different from selecting a specific medical centre.
City selection: You can select the examination city during booking.
Medical centre selection: The centre is assigned automatically.
6. What If I Want a Medical Centre Closer to Me?
If convenience is important, consider the examination city carefully before generating your WAFID slip.
You can first review the medical centres listed for different cities using the official WAFID directory. However, remember that reviewing the list does not allow you to select a specific centre.
A good approach is:
- Decide where you want to complete the examination.
- Check the WAFID medical centre listings for that city.
- Confirm your candidate information.
- Select the appropriate examination city during booking.
- Complete the WAFID appointment process.
- Check the medical centre assigned to your slip.
If something appears incorrect, do not simply ignore it. Contact the appropriate medical centre or WAFID support according to the issue.
WAFID also advises applicants to double-check the information entered during booking before submitting it.
What Should You Check Before Booking?
