Giving Nepalis migrants to Qatar a sigh of relief, the Qatar Government said it will establish a \u2018visa\u2019 and \u2018bio-metric health center\u2019 in Kathmandu, shortly. The facility will be the largest in Asia.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will soon establish a health<\/a> center in Kathmandu, which we believe will be of tremendous help to Nepali migrant workers<\/a>,\u201d said Yousuf Bin Mohammed Al-Hail, Qatar Ambassador to Nepal.<\/p>\n Al-Hail added that the health center will ease migrants\u2019 burden of undergoing health-checkups in Nepal and Qatar. Moreover, the existing process increases the financial burden on workers who reach Qatar but are sent back home on medical grounds.<\/p>\n \u201cAt present, workers who fail the health check-up in Qatar, have to return home even though they had passed the health check-up in Nepal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n The Qatar Ambassador said that the Qatar Government has roped in Singapore-based Biomet Smart Identity Solutions for setting up the bio-metric center and providing visa-related services.<\/p>\n Currently, a four-member Qatari Government delegation is in Kathmandu<\/a> to hold talks with the Nepali side for revision of the existing Nepal-Qatar labor agreement<\/a>.<\/p>\n Qatar Visa Support Service Department Director Major Abdullah Khalisa Al-Mohanadi informed that the delegation already spoke to Nepal Labor, Employment and Social Security (MoLESS) Minister Gokarna Bista regarding easing the process of opening a visa center in Kathmandu.<\/p>\n
