Healthcare Mobility Initiative
A multinational healthcare organization operating hospitals and medical research facilities across Europe and the Middle East faced a pressing need to expand its workforce of licensed doctors, nurses, and laboratory technicians across borders.
Post-pandemic demand for skilled healthcare professionals had surged, and the organization needed to relocate over 120 specialists within tight timelines to meet critical staffing needs in new facilities.
The leadership’s top priority was to manage visa processing, credential verification, and relocation compliance without disrupting patient care or violating healthcare regulations.
Business Challenge
The client’s expansion plan encountered complex challenges that threatened to delay operations and increase compliance risk:
The client needed a strategic partner with proven global mobility expertise in regulated industries — one capable of executing large-scale visa management with full compliance oversight.
Cross-Border Visa Bottlenecks
Medical staff relocations required multiple visa categories and medical licensing approvals, often taking up to 90 days per applicant.
Regulatory Compliance Pressure
Different countries required validation of medical degrees, work permits, and vaccination certifications before employment.
Manual Coordination & Documentation
Internal HR and legal teams managed processes via spreadsheets, resulting in communication gaps and missed documentation.
Time Sensitivity
Several new healthcare facilities were scheduled to open within 10 weeks, making time-critical workforce deployment essential.
Unidor’s Approach
Unidor deployed a Comprehensive Healthcare Mobility Framework built on three strategic pillars — compliance assurance, operational visibility, and speed.
