Libya Launches Labor Inspection Campaigns on Private Healthcare and Education Facilities
Minister of Labor orders sweeping inspections across private health and education sectors as Libya deploys over 400 new inspectors
The Libyan Ministry of Labor and Rehabilitation has launched a major inspection campaign targeting private healthcare and education facilities across the country, signaling a significant escalation in workplace oversight and occupational safety enforcement.
Minister of Labor and Rehabilitation, Engineer Abdullah Al-Sharif Arhouma, dispatched official letters to both the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education on Thursday, calling for coordinated cooperation to launch comprehensive labor inspection campaigns on private sector facilities, according to official statements from the Ministry's media office.
Scope of the Campaign
The campaign covers all private healthcare institutions — including hospitals, clinics, diagnostic centers, and pharmacies — as well as private schools, institutes, and educational centers across Libya. Inspectors will examine compliance with labor laws, worker registration, contract documentation, and occupational health and safety standards.
This move is part of a broader national strategy to regulate Libya's labor market, which has long suffered from informal employment, undocumented foreign labor, and weak enforcement of workplace safety regulations.
Over 400 Inspectors Deployed
Weeks before this announcement, the Ministry celebrated the graduation of more than 400 labor inspectors under the National Plan to Develop the Inspection System. These newly trained inspectors, skilled in labor law enforcement and workplace safety assessment, form the backbone of these operations.
On July 5, Minister Arhouma met with the Director of the Labor Inspection and Occupational Safety Department, Mr. Ali Amer, to discuss the operational framework. The minister emphasized activating inspection mechanisms in accordance with Decision No. 17 of 2025, which established the legal basis for comprehensive workplace inspections.
Digital Transformation in Labor Oversight
The Ministry has also advanced its digital infrastructure. The "Wafed" platform, launched earlier this year, has registered over 6,000 foreign workers officially, providing real-time data on the foreign workforce. This tool supports inspectors in verifying worker documentation during field visits.
Libya's labor market has seen increasing demand for professional roles, with over 144 new administrative positions posted on the country's largest employment platform this month alone.
Why Healthcare and Education?
The focus on private healthcare and education reflects growing concerns about labor practices in these sensitive sectors. Private medical facilities and schools employ large numbers of Libyan and foreign workers, and reports have highlighted gaps in contract documentation, licensing verification, and safety protocols.
"Private healthcare and education institutions serve the most vulnerable — patients and children," a Ministry source stated. "Ensuring workers are properly registered, legally employed, and working in safe conditions is a national priority."
The campaign also targets unlicensed foreign workers in these sectors, ensuring compliance with legal practice requirements in Libya.
Broader Labor Market Reforms
These inspections are part of a wider reform agenda under the Libyan Government's labor sector strategy. Recent initiatives include standardizing official holiday schedules, regulating foreign worker recruitment through the Wafed platform, and developing a national occupational safety framework aligned with International Labor Organization standards.
The mass graduation of inspectors in June 2026 — the largest single cohort in Libya's modern history — reflects the government's commitment to rebuilding regulatory capacity. This inspection campaign is the first major operational test of the expanded inspection force.
Private sector employers in healthcare and education are advised to prepare their documentation, review worker contracts, and audit their safety protocols ahead of inspection visits.
