First aid room requirements, on-site medical clinics for large camps, quarantine facilities, and ambulance access.

First Aid and Medical Facilities

Large Accommodation Medical Requirements

For large-scale accommodations housing 1,000 workers or more, operators are required under the 2026 MoHRE guidelines to establish a 24-hour medical clinic staffed by doctors and nurses. Even larger facilities must ensure immediate ambulance access is available on-site or on call.

The 24-hour clinic requirement is a new mandate introduced in 2026 and represents a significant upgrade from previous standards.
