The Department of State Bureau of Medical Services makes determinations on candidates that meet the minimum medical qualification standard.

There may be adequate health services, including a laboratory, locally where you could obtain the necessary care. Depending on the frequency of the follow up you require, you may also wish to consult your personal health care provider in the U.S. while on leave, or at a reputable medical facility outside of the U.S. 
 

Accepting employment in the Foreign Service for worldwide assignment means that the Department may send an employee to any assignment in the world without regard to the ability of family members to accompany the employee. Although in many cases it may be possible to locate an assignment where all family members can reside, there is no guarantee of this and, if the family members’ minimum medical qualification standards does not change, the same problem will repeat itself with each assignment throughout a career.
