The problem we are working on
Applying for a healthcare licence in the Gulf costs money before it costs time. Primary source verification is paid up front, and it is the step that surfaces the problems: a Good Standing Certificate that expired while you were chasing an employer, an experience certificate that does not cover the period you claimed, a former employer that has closed and cannot be reached.
All of those are knowable beforehand. Most of them are cheap to fix beforehand and expensive to fix afterwards. That gap is the whole product.
What Medverik is not
- Not a regulator, and not affiliated with any GCC health authority.
- Not a licensing agency. We do not submit applications on anyone’s behalf.
- Not an immigration consultancy, and not a recruiter.
- Not an official verification provider.
Every licensing decision is made by the authority. We tell you what they have published and where your own answers appear not to meet it.
How we decided to build it
The first version of this dataset contained a requirement citing a qualification standard that does not exist. It was a well-formed entry with the word “verified” typed into it, and the claim had come from consultancy blogs. It would have told nurses they needed experience the governing standard does not require.
Nothing about it was syntactically wrong, which is why care was not going to be the defence. A requirement now earns its status from the source registry rather than from a word somebody typed, and the software refuses to build if a requirement claims more than its sources support.
Coverage, honestly
Six GCC countries. Coverage differs by profession and by route, and each country page says exactly what we have established and what we have not. Where a route is published but unread, we name it and refuse to assess it rather than quietly leaving it off the list.
We would rather tell you we do not cover your route than answer it from a source we do not trust.
