[Sent by MOM – 5 August]

Enhancements to Six-Monthly Medical Examination (6ME) for Migrant Domestic Workers (MDWs) to strengthen detection against abuse

From 29 August, the 6ME will be enhanced to better detect any signs of abuse against MDWs

Key changes you need to know
Recording of MDW’s body-mass index
Checks for suspicious and unexplained injuries
6ME checks to be conducted at clinics without employers
