“The medical referral ‘decking system’ brought inconvenience and unwanted delays to aspiring OFWs, as it required them to line up at the GAMCA Manila office or file online requests, just to get forced referrals to medical clinics that were far from their places of origin,” said Baldoz.
“The Supreme Court Resolution is a welcome development for thousands of overseas Filipino workers,” said Baldoz. The GAMCA is a group of 19 medical clinics accredited by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), which is the association of countries of the Persian Gulf, for the medical examination of overseas Filipino workers bound for member states Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, and Oman. Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz yesterday lauded a Supreme Court en banc resolution that denied the motion of the GCC Accredited Medical Clinics Association (GAMCA) to stop the Department of Health (DOH) from implementing the prohibition of the so-called medical referral “decking system.” Stock image
