Manpower Supply for Healthcare in Madinah
Al Fahmi Services supports Healthcare employers in Madinah with Manpower Supply: workforce teams that are screened, mobilised and supplied under Ajeer- and Qiwa-compliant arrangements. Our work in Madinah is shaped by local demand around King Salman Medical City and Ohud Hospital. Roles in particular demand in Madinah: emergency and critical-care nurses; emergency physicians; clinical pharmacists.
Manpower supply covers contracted clinical-support and technical teams that hospitals and clinics add for ward expansion, new-wing openings and seasonal peaks. Staff are deployed under a service contract, using Ajeer where it is permitted for the role, with SCFHS registration confirmed before any licensed role starts. Supervisors manage rosters against the facility’s staffing plan, so cover for leave and surges stays within licence and accreditation conditions. Every engagement is structured around Ajeer, Qiwa and Nitaqat requirements, so Healthcare employers in Madinah can plan headcount with the compliance position in view.
- Ajeer & Qiwa Ready
- Nitaqat-aware workforce planning
- Healthcare specialists
- Mobilisation to Madinah
Why Healthcare employers in Madinah use Manpower Supply
Healthcare demand in Madinah has two drivers: the resident population and the visitors who arrive in large numbers during Umrah, Ramadan and the Hajj period. Hospitals in the city, among them King Salman Medical City and Ohud Hospital, plan for seasonal peaks in clinical demand.
Clinicians need SCFHS classification before practising, so recruitment timelines include professional licensing. Seasonal emergency, pharmacy and nursing cover, and care for elderly visitors, are common planning items for providers in the city.
Where we support Healthcare employers in Madinah

- King Salman Medical City
- Ohud Hospital
- Madinah Health Cluster
- Taibah University health colleges
What shapes Healthcare workforce planning in Madinah
- Hotels and towers occupy much of the land around the Central Area, so staff housing is usually in other districts; settle accommodation location and daily transport before mobilisation.
- Workers typically arrive through the airport, Haramain station or by road, then transfer to site; access near the Prophet’s Mosque is controlled and parts of it are limited to Muslims, so permits, shift timing and site access rules should be confirmed first.
- Demand arrives in waves around Ramadan, Eid and the Hajj period.
- Contracts work best with a stable core team plus pre-agreed seasonal additions under Ajeer.
- Licensing lead times: SCFHS classification and DataFlow primary-source verification can take a long time, depending on the profession and the country of qualification, so a start date has to be planned from the day verification begins, not from the offer date.
- Saudization of nursing and allied-health roles: operators must meet Saudization requirements under Nitaqat while still filling scarce specialties, and the supply of Saudi graduates varies by specialty and region.

How Manpower Supply for Healthcare is delivered in Madinah
Our delivery process for Healthcare in Madinah
Scope the workforce request
We confirm trades, quantities, start dates, shift patterns and site rules, then agree which roles suit a managed contract and which suit an Ajeer transfer.
Source and trade-test candidates
Candidates are screened against the trade list, with practical tests or document checks for licensed roles. You receive profiles and can reject any worker before contracting.
Contract and register
The commercial contract is signed and employment contracts are documented on Qiwa. Where Ajeer applies, the transfer-of-services contract is raised and approved before workers start.
Mobilise to site
Iqamas, insurance and GOSI registration are confirmed, then workers are inducted, issued PPE and moved to site with transport and accommodation arranged.
Supervise and report monthly
A named coordinator handles absences, replacements and disputes. Timesheets are reconciled monthly and invoiced against the agreed rate card.
Renew, rotate or demobilise
Before contract end we renew iqamas and permits, rotate workers on request, or close out the Ajeer transfer and settle end-of-service entitlements.
Reaching Madinah: gateways and travel planning for Healthcare
Key gateways and transport links serving Madinah include Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport; Haramain High Speed Railway, Madinah station; Madinah–Makkah highway; and Madinah–Yanbu highway. For Healthcare assignments we plan travel and start dates around these entry points so that onboarding fits your programme.
Approximate road distances from Madinah to other cities we serve: Yanbu (approximately 220 km), Jeddah (approximately 420 km) and Makkah (approximately 450 km). We also serve Tabuk.
Compliance for Manpower Supply serving Healthcare employers in Madinah
Regulatory requirements for Manpower Supply in Madinah
Ajeer transfer-of-services contract
Temporary supply between establishments is recorded on the Ajeer platform, with the contract approved by both parties. Check that the provider is authorised for this activity, and that contract terms match the work actually performed.
Qiwa employment contracts
Each worker’s employment contract should be documented on Qiwa under the provider’s establishment. This fixes the job title, wage and term, and lets the client verify that supplied workers hold valid, recorded contracts.
Wage protection through Mudad
Salaries must be paid on time through bank transfer and recorded in the Wage Protection System on Mudad. Ask for payroll evidence, since unpaid wages on a supplied crew quickly turn into site disruption.
GOSI and medical insurance
The employer must register workers with GOSI and keep valid private medical insurance for them. Request current GOSI and insurance evidence before mobilisation, particularly when contractors are audited on site.
Iqama and work-permit upkeep
Iqama issuance and renewal run through Muqeem, alongside work-permit renewal. A lapsed iqama or a worker employed outside the registered job title can expose the client to fines, so renewal dates should be tracked.
Nitaqat and Saudization impact
Supplied workers remain employees of the provider, so they should not be relied on to meet the client’s own Saudization obligations under Nitaqat. Confirm the current MHRSD rules with your advisers before planning headcount around supply.
Credentials we screen for in Healthcare
- SCFHS classification and registration for physicians, dentists, nurses, pharmacists and allied-health professionals
- DataFlow primary-source verification of degrees, licences and previous employment
- BLS and ACLS certification from a recognised provider such as the American Heart Association, with paediatric or neonatal life-support courses for relevant units
- CBAHI accreditation standards of the employing facility, which staff files, competencies and training records must satisfy
- Infection-control training and competency checks for everyone working in patient and clinical environments
- MHRSD obligations: Qiwa contracts, Mudad wage protection, GOSI registration and Ajeer for transferred labour

Madinah's business landscape: context for Manpower Supply in Healthcare
Madinah is one of Islam’s two holiest cities and the home of the Prophet’s Mosque, which draws Umrah visitors and pilgrims throughout the year. The local economy is organised around hosting them: hotels, residential towers, catering, transport, retail, hospitals and the municipal services that keep the Central Area running. Demand for workers therefore follows the visitor calendar closely.
Beyond the pilgrimage economy sits a second layer of employers: Knowledge Economic City, Madinah Industrial City, the universities and the regional health cluster, with Yanbu on the Red Sea coast, in the same region, as an industrial complement. Employers here typically need long-term hotel and facility teams alongside short-term project crews, mobilised under Ajeer or Qiwa-registered contracts, with Nitaqat tracked at establishment level.
Key areas in Madinah for Healthcare employers
Central Area around the Prophet’s Mosque
Hotels, towers, retail and service contracts concentrate here; access rules and peak-day traffic controls shape shift planning.
Knowledge Economic City
A planned mixed-use development in Madinah, built around knowledge-based activity, that generates construction, technology and facility-services demand as plots are developed.
Madinah Industrial City
Manufacturing and storage facilities outside the congested centre, needing production, warehouse and maintenance workers.
Airport and Haramain station zone
A main entry point for visitors by air and rail, around which hotel, transport and ground-service employers recruit.
Frequently asked questions
Do healthcare staff for Madinah need SCFHS classification before starting?
Yes. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other practitioners must be classified by the SCFHS before practising in Saudi Arabia, in Madinah as elsewhere. Because demand rises around Ramadan and Hajj, start licensing and Qiwa contract steps well ahead of the peak rather than when it begins.
Can contracted nurses and technicians be deployed on Ajeer in Madinah?
Where the arrangement is permitted for the role, yes. Ajeer governs the temporary transfer of workers between establishments, but clinical staff still need SCFHS classification and registration to practise, and the host facility remains responsible for privileging and supervision. Scope and duration are agreed in the contract before deployment.
How is peak-season cover arranged for Healthcare sites in Madinah?
Peak cover is planned within the contract rather than improvised. Busy periods such as Ramadan and the winter respiratory season, and Hajj and Umrah peaks where the site is in or near the holy cities, are mapped to a flexible roster, and the plan can specify nurses and technicians verified before deployment at agreed skill grades. Supervisors confirm licence validity and BLS currency before each rotation starts.
What should we verify before accepting a Manpower Supply provider?
Ask for the commercial registration, evidence of authorisation to supply labour, current GOSI and insurance records, Mudad payroll evidence and a sample Qiwa contract. These show whether the provider can meet its employer obligations for the full term.
