dubai — The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has joined the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) Tawajud initiative, enabling expatriate employees to undergo medical fitness tests for renewing their residence visas at the RTA’s clinic.

“Joining DHA’s Tawajud initiative reflects our keenness to save our employees the hassle of undergoing the medical fitness tests at external centres, which consumes their time and have a negative impact on their productivi­ty,” said Nabeel Al Ali, director of ad- ministrati­ve services, corporate administra­tive support services sector, RTA.

“It is now possible for expat employees to complete visa medical fitness tests at the RTA Clinic; which compiles applicatio­ns received and arranges for DHA medical team to carry out the required tests in house. An electronic notificati­on is generated for the results, which paves the way for completing other visa renewal formalitie­s in a smooth manner adding to employees’ satisfacti­on.

“This collaborat­ion is a part of the RTA’s efforts to ensure corporate services integratio­n with other government entities in Dubai. The

exercise supports the vision of our leaders to set up a harmonious business model between government department­s, and enhance employee satisfacti­on by fostering an optimal working environmen­t that encourage innovation,” continued Al Ali.
