Philippines, GCC to open more clinics for Gulf-bound workers

MANILA: The Philippines and the Gulf Cooperation Council are in talks to open more accredited medical centers and clinics in the Southeast Asian country, as they seek to improve health screening for Filipino workers headed for the Gulf. More than a million Filipino nationals are living and working in the Gulf region. Saudi Arabia is the top destination in the GCC for Filipino overseas workers — the Kingdom hosts nearly half of the Filipinos in the Gulf — followed by the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar.
