Ajeer Companions Permit – Healthcare Sector


The Ajeer Companions Permit Service – Health Sector is a specialized online service for healthcare establishments that enables them to issue official permits allowing companions (such as family companions or resident escorts) to work temporarily in other healthcare facilities under defined rules, without transferring sponsorship or changing the primary employer on residency records.

It is used when a healthcare beneficiary facility needs to engage registered companions from another provider entity (such as a hospital, medical complex, or operating contractor) to perform non-medical or semi-medical support tasks, with clearly specified duration, work location, and scope of duties. The process typically starts with the provider establishment logging into its account, selecting the companions permit for the health sector, and registering details of the beneficiary facility, including its health activity type, work sites (hospital, center, branch), and the planned permit period.

An electronic request is then sent to the beneficiary for approval of assignment terms, after which the provider adds companions’ data using their ID or residency numbers and sets permit durations per companion within regulatory caps on numbers and timeframes. Once data is reviewed and any applicable fees are paid, the Ajeer Companions Permit – Health Sector is issued as an electronic document that can be printed and verified, authorizing the companion to work at the beneficiary healthcare facility for the defined period.
