Pre-employment medical examination

Every employee must undergo a medical examination before being taken on or, at the latest, before the end of the initial probationary period (Art. 43 CPS).

In Mali, there is at least one occupational health doctor in every inter-company medical centre (CMIE).

Workers are seen by the occupational health doctor with their contract. The doctor conducts consultations and may recommend medical examinations.

The purpose of the pre-employment medical examination is to determine:

• Whether the worker is medically fit for the proposed job;
• Whether they are free from any infection that could pose a risk to their colleagues;
• Which posts they may or may not be assigned to for health reasons,
