Hyderabad Has No Wafid / GAMCA Approved Centers

The Gulf Health Council (GHC) does not currently have any officially approved Wafid / GAMCA medical centers in Hyderabad city. If you are from Hyderabad and need a GAMCA medical examination for a GCC visa, you must book your appointment under Karachi — the nearest WAFID-designated city with 16 approved centers. This is the standard process for all applicants from Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Dadu, Thatta, and interior Sindh. See Karachi booking details below.

ℹ️

Important: Any center in Hyderabad claiming to be a GAMCA or WAFID approved center is not officially authorized. Only centers listed in the official WAFID system are recognized by GCC embassies. Using an unauthorized center will result in your medical result not appearing in the WAFID system — meaning your GCC visa will be rejected. Always use a center from our Karachi approved centers list.

GAMCA / Wafid Medical Test for Hyderabad Applicants — Complete Guide 2025

Hyderabad is Sindh’s second-largest city and one of Pakistan’s major urban centres, with a significant population of workers seeking employment in GCC countries — particularly Saudi Arabia and the UAE. However, unlike Karachi, Lahore, or Islamabad, Hyderabad does not have any officially approved Wafid / GAMCA medical centers connected to the Gulf Health Council’s WAFID system. This is a common source of confusion for Hyderabad applicants who search online and find various clinics claiming to offer GAMCA tests locally.

The Gulf Health Council designates specific cities as WAFID booking locations in Pakistan. As of 2025, the approved Pakistani cities are: Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Multan, Gujranwala, Sialkot, and Chakdara. Hyderabad is not on this list. All applicants from Hyderabad, Jamshoro, Mirpurkhas, Dadu, Thatta, Badin, and surrounding Sindh areas must book under Karachi.

Why Does Hyderabad Have No GAMCA Centers?

The Gulf Health Council approves GAMCA centers based on applicant volume, healthcare infrastructure, and regional demand. While Hyderabad sends a substantial number of workers to GCC countries each year, the Gulf Health Council has not yet established an approved center in the city. Karachi — Pakistan’s largest city and economic capital — serves as the designated WAFID hub for the entire Sindh province, including Hyderabad, which is approximately 160 km away via the M-9 Motorway.

There have historically been discussions about expanding WAFID-approved centers to Hyderabad, but as of 2025 no official center has been authorized. This may change in future years if the Gulf Health Council reviews the regional demand from interior Sindh applicants.

Which Documents Do Hyderabad Applicants Need?

Original passport with at least 7 months and 21 days of remaining validity
2 photocopies of the passport bio-data page
Wafid / GAMCA appointment token slip (PDF delivered to your WhatsApp within 30 minutes of booking)
2–4 recent passport-size photographs with white background
CNIC copy (Computerized National Identity Card)
Cash for the medical test fee at the Karachi center (Rs. 8,000–12,000)
Visa copy or employment offer letter from your GCC sponsor if available

Can I Do My GAMCA Test at a Private Clinic in Hyderabad?

No. Private clinics and hospitals in Hyderabad — even well-known or accredited ones — cannot conduct a valid GAMCA examination unless they are specifically approved by the Gulf Health Council and listed in the WAFID system. Getting a medical certificate from an unauthorized clinic is a complete waste of money, as the result will not appear on the official WAFID portal and will be rejected by all GCC embassies. Only the 16 Karachi centers listed on our Karachi centers page are valid for Hyderabad applicants.

⚠️ Warning about unauthorized agents: Some agents in Hyderabad claim to process GAMCA tests locally and may collect fees for arranging medical certificates through unofficial means. This is not only invalid for GCC visa purposes but also illegal. Your GCC visa will be refused if your medical report does not appear in the official WAFID database under your passport number. Always insist on receiving an official Wafid token slip with a specific center name and appointment date.

Tips for Hyderabad Applicants Traveling to Karachi

Book early in the week — Don’t book for Monday as it’s the busiest day at Karachi centers. Tuesday through Thursday mornings are ideal.
Travel the night before if possible — Arriving in Karachi the evening before your appointment eliminates the stress of early morning travel and lets you arrive at the center well before opening.
Confirm your center address — Karachi centers are spread across different areas. Your token slip will show the exact center. Don’t confuse PECHS centers with DHA centers or North Karachi centers — they are far apart in the city.
Bring all documents in one folder — Passport, copies, slip, photos, CNIC copy, and sufficient cash for the examination fee.
Check results from Hyderabad — Once your test is done, you can check your result from home in Hyderabad on our report check page — no need to return to Karachi.

What GCC Countries Can Hyderabad Applicants Apply For?

Hyderabad applicants can book GAMCA medical appointments for all GCC countries through the Karachi booking category: Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Yemen. When booking, select the specific GCC country that matches your visa — this determines the medical protocols applied during your examination and the embassy that will verify your result.

Frequently Asked Questions — GAMCA Medical Test for Hyderabad

Is there any GAMCA / WAFID approved center in Hyderabad? +

No. As of 2025, the Gulf Health Council has not approved any Wafid / GAMCA medical centers in Hyderabad, Sindh. The nearest approved city is Karachi, approximately 160 km from Hyderabad via the M-9 Motorway. All applicants from Hyderabad and surrounding Sindh districts must select Karachi when booking their GAMCA appointment and travel to one of the 16 approved Karachi centers.

Which city should I select when booking a GAMCA appointment from Hyderabad? +

Select Karachi as your city when booking your Wafid / GAMCA appointment. You will be assigned to one of Karachi’s 16 approved centers based on availability. The center’s name, full address, and appointment date will be printed on your token slip, which we deliver to your WhatsApp within 30 minutes of booking.

How far is Hyderabad from Karachi and what is the best way to travel? +

Hyderabad is approximately 160 km from Karachi, about a 2.5–3 hour journey via the M-9 Motorway. The most common travel options are Daewoo or Faisal Mover buses (Rs. 500–900, first departure around 6:00 AM), private hired car (Rs. 3,000–5,000 via M-9), or train (Karachi-Hyderabad section). We recommend taking the first morning bus or departing by car early enough to arrive at your assigned Karachi center before 9:00 AM, when it opens and before queues form.

Can applicants from Mirpurkhas, Badin, Nawabshah, and other Sindh cities also use Karachi? +

Yes. All applicants from interior Sindh cities and districts — including Mirpurkhas, Badin, Nawabshah, Sanghar, Khairpur, Larkana, Sukkur, Jacobabad, Dadu, Thatta, and Jamshoro — should also select Karachi as their WAFID city when booking, as Karachi is the only WAFID-approved city in Sindh province. Sukkur applicants may also explore whether selecting Multan is closer for their specific location, as Multan serves as the hub for some northern Sindh districts.

Will there be GAMCA centers in Hyderabad in the future? +

It is possible that the Gulf Health Council could approve new centers in Hyderabad in the future, given the city’s significant GCC-bound worker population. However, there is no confirmed timeline for this. The Gulf Health Council expands its approved center network based on regional demand and infrastructure assessments. Until an official announcement is made, all Hyderabad applicants must continue to book through Karachi. We will update this page immediately when any new Hyderabad centers are officially approved.

Can I check my GAMCA result from home in Hyderabad after testing in Karachi? +

Yes. Once the Karachi center uploads your results to the WAFID system — typically within 2–3 working days — you can check your result from anywhere using your passport number. Visit our medical report check page or go directly to wafid.com/medical-status-search/ from your phone or computer in Hyderabad. There is no need to return to Karachi to collect or view your results.
