How it works

A clear process from enquiry to reporting

Our process is designed to keep migration health assessments organised, respectful and easy to follow for individuals, families and organisations.

1. Initial enquiry

We begin by understanding your travel, visa, organisational or medical requirement and guiding you to the most suitable assessment pathway.

2. Booking & preparation

Your appointment is scheduled and you are advised on identification, referral documents, previous records and any preparation needed before attendance.

3. Clinical assessment

At AHAC in Kabul, clients receive a careful and respectful medical examination supported by experienced clinicians, radiology and laboratory services where required.

4. Tests & diagnostics

Where the case requires it, we coordinate TB screening, chest-health checks, laboratory diagnostics and related investigations with attention to accuracy and transparency.

5. Reporting & referral

Results are documented clearly and, when necessary, shared with the relevant authority or followed by onward referral for specialist review and further care.

6. Follow-up support

We remain available for clarification, next-step guidance and practical support so clients can move forward with greater confidence and less uncertainty.

Practical notes

What families often ask

These notes mirror the practical conversations we have with clients and families preparing for Afghan migration health assessments.

Timings

Assessments, tests and follow-up steps can take more than one visit. We explain likely timings so families can plan confidently.

Documents

Identification, appointment letters and any previous medical information should be brought to the assessment. We clarify what is essential in advance.
