In an official press release issued on Saturday, October 31, 2026, the Ministry emphasized that taking more than the prescribed BDT 8,000 for medical screening is strictly prohibited.

Selected workers are free to complete their health examinations at any authorized medical center of their choice. Furthermore, if a worker decides to switch recruiting agencies after a medical slip is generated, the original agency must transfer the medical report without delay or objection. Overcharging, harassment, or administrative delays can be reported directly to the ministry via email ([email protected]). Regular monitoring and surprise audits will be conducted, with strict legal action promised against non-compliant medical centers.
