GAMCA Nepal – a loose coordination mechanism of GCC approved medical centres in Nepal – has hiked medical check-up fee for migrant workers from Rs 3,200 to Rs 4,000.
“We hiked the fee according to the decision of GCC,” said GAMCA Nepal chief Dr Ravi Rauniyar. However, outsourcing agencies are opposing the decision demanding to withdraw the hike.
