| Pre-Employment Medical Exam Result (phase 1 only) Fit to work (July 2022) |
My Medical Exam Journey in Philippine Medical Tests System in Quezon City as Direct Hire.
July 04, 2022 Mon - arrived around lunch time, long queuing, lots of OFW. Paid PHP 3,450 for Phase 1 plus HIV Test as required by my Employer based in UAE. Clinic is until 4pm only, I left the Vision and Dental Test due to long queing in ECG area (only one personnel) and psychometric exam.
July 05, 2022 Tue - went back to PMTS after lunch. I have findings on my dental exam, need to have dental cleaning (oral prophylaxis). As their clinic over charge it, around PHP1,400, I decided to go outside and look for nearby dental clinic. I found DentZone which charge only PHP600. I went back together with a certificate. All part of the exam is finished and wait for 2 days for the result.
July 07, 2022 Thu - texted and emailed PMTS. They replied after 2 hours. I have suspicious remarks on lungs, need re-xray (lordotic view) and require reading glasses.
July 08, 2022 Fri - went back to PMTS after lunch. I went to the Result window section and take my papers back to finalize the remarks yesterday. Paid PHP250 for re-xray and PHP600 for reading glasses. PMTS advised the xray result next week.
July 12, 2022 Tue - went back to PMTS after lunch. I went to the Result window section, they provided the hard copies of the test result 5 pages, (Medical Exam Result Certificate, HIV Test, X-Ray, Serology and ECG). Validity is 3 months from the start day of my medical test.
TOTAL EXPENSES: 3,450 (Phase 1 & HIV Test) + 600 (oral prophylaxis) + 250 (re xray) + 600 (reading glasses) + 35 (tissue & stool cup) = PHP 4,945 (as of July 2022)
Medical Exam Coverage (for phase 1 and phase 2, whole day process to start at 8am)

| GAMCA Medical Exam Result Fit to Work in Kuwait (Nov. 2011) |
What if you have scar on the lungs? US there any chanceto be fit if the findings are negtive its only scar already?
ReplyDelete@Muhammad Abdullah; Unfortunately there is NO chance to be fit even if its just a history of having scar. Even though it's negative, it is included in infectious disease list.
DeleteThanks for this post. Do you have any idea how long it will take for the medical results to come out? And as a direct hire for Oman, am I allowed to get my medical results? (last time I processed for Saudi, the clinic directly gave results to the agency).
ReplyDelete@Allan Yasser; I think the standard queuing is 1 week (depends, sometime you have to retake some medical areas for clarification or confirmation).
DeleteCan i medicaly fit ;If I have scoliosis ?
ReplyDelete@remyanthomas; if the clinic declared immediately you are unfit, then ask justification even though this deficiency is not in the list. If the clinic provided reconsideration, then its up to your employer to decide if they will declare you fit with waiver or not.
DeleteVery interesting blog. Alot of blogs I see these days don't really provide anything that I'm interested in, but I'm most definately interested in this one. Just thought that I would post and let you know.
ReplyDeleteMimikfalten
I have dextroscoliosis.. Does it make me UNFIT?
ReplyDelete@Angelica; in my honest opinion, it falls under non-infectious category which means unfit, unless your employer sent a waiver that dextroscoliosis does not affect your work.
DeleteSee this link: http://www.ofwguide.com/article_item-2489/OFWs-Can-Now-Choose-Clinics-for-Medical-Exam.html
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion for scar, if Lung Center of the Phils says you are fit to work, GCC countries should abide that. Or perhaps some infectious category from the list should now be remove by GCC countries like history of scar, as it is not infectious disease per se.
No, even if the Lung Center of the Phils. says you are Clear of the scar & Fit To Work, the employer has the right to reject possible employment at their own discretion. The best thing to do is to remove scar in the list as INFECTIOUS DESEASE esp.if you don't have any history of TB.
ReplyDeleteHi I am applying for a work for UAE . is it okay or am I fit to work even I have hemorroid ? Please do answer me . Thank you
ReplyDeleteit still subject to your employer's decision.
Deletewill you be banned if you found unfit in your medical?mine was found ko ha infection bound to kuwait...
ReplyDeleteit depends of being how unfit you are
DeleteHi. I just had my xray stating that I have a mild blunting of left CP angle, minimal pleural thickenign or effusion. It has the adjectives "mild" and "minimal" though. Can it be waived by my company? Or should I have a medical clearance issued by Lung Center? thanks.
ReplyDeleteYes it can be waived by the company but it will depend on the nature of job your are hired... it is advisable also to have a medical clearance in Lung Center to support the x-ray result
DeleteKumusta po? I have minimal Pleural effusion/thickening din result ko sa chest x ray. Na consider kaba? Or did you undergo treatment muna?
DeleteUsually treatment muna yan or depende sa employer mo.
DeleteI want to know if there's a chance to work in Saudi Arabia am applying as a Sales Lady but the main thing my concern is in my xray recent result I have Stable Fibrotic Residuals in the Left Apex compared to 7-16-16 & 4-4-14 exams.No new Infiltrates seen. What am going to do? Do i need for waiver?
ReplyDeleteusually po pag may any negative findings sa x-ray, magpa-2nd consultation po kayo sa ibang x-ray clinic... Again, depende po sa company na magha-hire sa yo, pwede silang mag-issue ng waiver sa clinic para makapasa ka.
DeleteI have a job offer from Bahrain, nagkaroon ako ng TB last 2016 but treated na and I have certification na complete ang medication at ok na ako. Would a waiver from my employer be able to help me to get a FIT TO WORK in GAMCA? or ok na ang certification? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, employer waiver ang magpapa-FIT TO WORK sa yo. Yung certification syempre yang back-up evidence mo sa employer mo para bigyan ka nya ng waiver.
DeleteGoodmorning. I have a job offer in bahrain. I had clear xray and negative AFB test but was PPD(mantoux test positive). Is there a chance that i will be fit and be considered by the employer? Has there been a case that they accept and just do preventive oral treatement in bahrain?
ReplyDeletetanong nyo na lang po sa agency nyo para sila magtanong sa employer nyo ng limitations.
DeleteHello po...i want to go to bahrain as a nurse, but i have this rpr positive but after 2 days i got treatment then the doktor told me that i am treated. In this case it can be waive by an employer? Thank u
ReplyDeletedepende sa limitation / strict level ng medical requirement ng employer mo kung mag-i-issue sila ng waiver.
Deletecan a medical certificate be renewed???.. my med cert will expired this nov 3.. because of agencies taking long to process my papers.. does the kuwait embassy consider it???...
ReplyDeletewala pong renewal natural, kuha po ulit ng bago.
DeleteFor overseas bound to Kuwait, applicable pa din po ba ang GCC na accredited clinic lang pwede magprocess ng medical or any DoH pwede na?
ReplyDeleteDo you have an idea of the exact diagnostic tests needed for Kuwait? Thank you!
yes, applicable pa din, test above generally lang po unless you declared something unusual.
DeleteSo did u check in other clinic?because I have same problem and got job at Abu Dhabi as sports trainer.
ReplyDeleteyes, but most probably waiver is the best option
DeleteWill operations (done in past) of neurological problems declare unfit for medical?
ReplyDeleteNo, I don't think so, it's not in the list
DeleteHi! I just want to clarify lang po, UAE employers have the right to issue waiver para maging fit ka in case na makitaan ka ng lung scar? Tama po ba?
ReplyDeleteyup, not a right and compulsory, it's still up to them if they will issue or not. On my case, yung agency mismo ang nag-waiver kasi alam nila not related and case ko (semi-color blind) sa work ko.
DeleteAh. Thank you for this! Nice blog, btw. Very informative.
Deletequestion? ang dental exam ba ay makapag unfit to work sa middle east kahit ang problema ay ipapasta lng. salamat sa sasagot..
ReplyDeleteof course no, ang babaw. pakibasa yung mga critical per above post.
DeleteWhat if ang employer ay willing magbigay nang waiver pero wala po akong makitang clinic na tatanggap po nang waiver? Ano po ba ang mga gamca clinics na tumatanggap ng waiver bound to kuwait po? Salamat po.
ReplyDeletewala na pong GAMCA clinics, pakibasa po ang post. basta DFA accredited clinics ayos na po yun.
Deletelipoma will affect to unfit to work? thank you...
ReplyDeleteit depends on the doctor's advise.
DeleteAng diabetes poh b pedeng mai waiver kasi ininform ako ng agency nah willing daw mag waiver ang employer ko
ReplyDeletesince willing naman ang employer mo, basta submit mo lang ang waiver sa clinic para i-declare ka nila na fit to work.
DeleteI have jaundice, day after tomorrow my medical if any problem for my fitness
ReplyDeleteit depends on the doctor's advise.
DeleteHi pO ask kO lng pO kc May lung scar ako andwilling mag bigay ng waiver ang employers ko Sa Bahrain matatanggap ba un ng gcc???
ReplyDeleteYes matatanggap ka, employer mo na nagsabi.
DeleteIs Vitiligo cab affect my medical exam. Work will be service crew bound for Saudi
ReplyDeleteNO po, pero depende pa din sa employer.
DeleteHello po...for medical na po ako going saudi but meron po akong scoliosis...ano po dpat ko gawin since wl nmn po sa list ng sakit na prohibited ung sa condition k.Need k po b inform yung agency bgo ako mgpamedical?please advise. Thank you
ReplyDeleteyes po, you need to inform your agency. baka kasi mag-request pa ng waiver and clinic para i-release nila and medical record mo as FIT TO WORK.
DeleteHello sir. I hope yo can give me your opinion about my situation. Mahina ang pandinig ng right ear ko, pero normal ang hearing nung left. Do you think I can pass the med exam for Saudi Visa this coming Monday?
ReplyDeleteas long as your employer GAVE / ACKNOWLEDGE through waiver dun sa clinic para para ma-release ang medical permit mo for FIT TO WORK, you can pass the Saudia visa po.
DeleteGood pm nagkaroon ako ng minimal ptb last mga 90's last 2010 numerical ako at nag fit to work sa UAE, Qatar,SaudiArabia..ang pinaka huling visa ko sa passport 2018 sa Qatar..nagkaroon ako ng problem sa pag alis ko sa agency's Dahil na reprocess ang dokumento ko kaya hindi ako nabigyan ng Oec sa pagwidraw no Sinama ko medical payment refund nakuha ko naman after that doon na bagsimula kalbaryo lahat ng medical ko magmula 2018 nakafinding na ako ng fibrosis.kaya Hindi na ako maka alis until now gusto ko sanang magconduct ng investigation kung sinabotahe ang medical result ko sa gcc o findings na talaga at ayaw iwaiver ng agency's at clinic.pasagot naman po salamat
ReplyDeleteFirst wala pong sabotahe, baka naman po bumalik ung PTB nyo po, magpa-2nd consultation kayo. Di po talaga for waiver ang PTB-related cases, ang nagbibigay po tlg ng waiver is ang prospected employer nyo po.
DeleteStrict po ba ang dental exam ?
ReplyDeletehindi po.
Deletekaht d ba 20/20.vision makakapasa pa.rin ba sa.medical
ReplyDeleteOO naman po, dami ko nakikitang naka-reading glasses. Pero syempre depende sa job nature mo din at employer requirement, minsan mahigpit sila.
DeleteGood day... Last October 4 2020 nag medical po ako Para sa Saudi.. Unfit to work po yon result due to vdrl and htpa reactive.. May chance po maging fit to work ako.. May schedule na po ako ulit for medical this Nov 26 2020
ReplyDeleteYes, you can still dispute the clinic provided result via your employer's signed waiver. Humingi ka ng waiver sa employer mo po.
DeleteGood day po. I underwent medical exam already for Japan as a teacher, pero may minimal Pleural effusion/thickening po result ko sa xray. Hindi po ako ma bigyan ng fit to work ng clinic. Ang company ko sa Japan ay strict lang sila sa Tuberculosis and any history of it. Can I still contest with the clinic's result para ma bigyan ako ng fit to work? Ano po pwede gawin or the company?
ReplyDeleteYes, you can still dispute the clinic provided result via your employer's signed waiver. Humingi ka ng waiver sa employer mo po.
Deletehi! thanks for this blog. It's very informative!
ReplyDeleteWould just like to ask some clarifications please:
1. Would just like to ask if the abolishment of the GAMCA monopoly is still in effect as of today?
2. Not really sure of the process since I don't have an employer yet but considering OMAN for my next job destination.. Should the request for medical come from your employer? Is it indicated there whether it has to be done on GAMCA accredited clinics or not?
3. Once test results become available, will they submit the results directly to the employer or do GAMCA clinics have access on a certain database which can be accessed by both employers and the GCC?
4. If in case they tag you as UNFIT to work, do you ask them for reconsideration by coordinating with other specialists then providing them the findings?
5. I've been reading some of the questions and the answers provided specifically on the waiver to be provided by the employer in case tagged as UNFIT to work. Is there a chance that the waiver will be provided by the agency instead? Also, once a waiver is provided by the employer, do we need to coordinate back to the clinic or it's understood that you're already "FIT' to work?
6. How soon can we retake GAMCA test once tagged as UNFIT?
1. Wala na pong GAMCA since 2013, basa basa po muna ng post sa taas
ReplyDelete2. Yes. Again, WALA NA NGANG GAMCA, basa basa po.
3. No sa yo muna ipapaalam baka maremedyuhan pa yung minor findings. Pag major tapos na po.
4. It's up to your employer.
5. Waiver pag yung findings medyo di critical sa work. Pag sinabing unfit po most probably yung findings critical sa work.
6. Depende po sa findings.
Papasa po kaya sa medical kahit blind na isang mata? Thanks for tge reply - Saudi applicant
ReplyDeleteAgain, depende po sa employer. Usually yung ganyang case hinihingan ng clinic ng waiver from employer. Meron po ako co-employee na exactly ng case mo, ayun 15 years na sa work nya. Be positive na lang po sa employer nyo.
DeleteHi po. May chance po ba na makapasa if mataba po? And what if may menstruation po ako on that day for medical, resched po ba? Salamat po in advance. - Saudi applicant
ReplyDeleteYup, be positive po, ang daming matataba po dun. Yung test depende sa need kung affected ang mens.
Deletehello..kung ok sa employer mag waiver, ecg result:poor r wave progression..which is not diagnostic of a heart ailment, ok.lang ba na walang cardio clearance..kasi ayon s mga nakausap ko with the same concern, s cardio clearance n recommend ng clinic magbababayad ka lang na 850..clear na...
ReplyDeleteYup basta waiver from your employer, acceptable ka sa medical mo na fit to work with waiver. Sa work visa mo kasi yan ipapasa sa embassy.
DeleteHello good pm po question, nakakapasa po ba ang may goiter? Thank you so much for response in advance.
ReplyDeleteGood pm din. Depende po sa work requirement mo, usually yung ganyan po BAKA hingan ng waiver from your agency / employer kung hindi naman critical sa work mo para i-certify kang FIT TO WORK
DeleteHello po just to concern lang po na unfit dahil mataas po result ng sugar ko so their suggest po na magpaconsult daw po ako sa endocrinology-internal medicine specialist..as per their referral ngreseta po ung doctor ng gamot n iinum ko for one week and then pinaulit po ako ng FBS test ung result po was improving kaya po binigyan po nia ako ngFIT to work clearance at niresetahan po nia ako ng gamot for 1 year naun po yung doctor po sa clinic sila pumayag n Fit to work ako ksi po hindi ko daw po naibaba ung FBS result sa 7.2 req. N FBS.pinapaulit uli nia ako ng FBS kaylangn ko daw maibaba ung result .naun po sabi ng agency iwewaive n lng daw po nila un kasi po ang pagbabasihan daw po is yung binigay n clearance ng endocrinology n nirefer ng clinic..iwewaive daw po nila yung desisyon ng doctor clinic...possible po kaya yun or kaylangn ko ulit umulit ng FBS masyado n po kasi magastos at time consuming..FBS po lang nmn ang bagsak sa medical ko..the rest po is ok..mawewaive po kaya iyon nh agency with FIT to work clearance na binigay ng endocrinology?
ReplyDeleteNosebleed ako po sa message mo haha jk, medyo no idea po sa case mo. On general sense po, basta makitang FIT TO WORK yang medical certification mo ng agency / embassy / employer, you are ready to work po regardless ng reason ng waive.
DeleteTanong ko lang kung hindi ba tumatanggap ang qatar ng waiver for scoliosis para maging fit to work yung medical cert?
ReplyDeleteAng pagtanggap po ng WAIVER regardless ng reason is nasa EMPLOYER discretion po. As long as nakitang FIT TO WORK yong medical cert mo ng Qatar Embassy kahit may waiver pa yan, you are legal to have visa.
DeleteGood day po, nag apply po ako to UAE as housemaid pero may calcified granuloma po ako,from lung center of the philippines.tapos okay lang naman sa employer ko Doon. Ano po Gawin ko .ayaw na kasi ng agency ko kahit direct hire naman po ako.
ReplyDeleteHumingi po kayo ng waiver sa Employer nyo declaring your medical condition is accepted and fit to work as per their requirement.
Deleteany update po? nakakuha ka ba ng waiver? na fit to work ka po ba?
DeleteUNFIT medical mo PTB w/Bronchiectasis & Pleural thickening might need treatment suggest consult w/ a lung specialist
ReplyDeleteYan ang findings balik kna lang sa clinic kung gusto mo iverify. Yan po text sa akin ng agency ko. Ask ko lang po kung ano pede ko po gawin? Pa Qatar po sana ako. Pede ko po ba hingian ang employer q sa Qatar ng waiver for fit to work? Direct hire po nila ako at minamadali na po nila talaga ang pag alis ko.
nakupo, UNFIT na po kayo. You need to ask Specialist Doctor (lungs) para i-apela ang UNFIT status nyo. Yes po, 2nd option is kung mabibigyan kayo ng waiver na Qatar employer nyo para tanggapin ang UNFIT status. Kasi, nasa Qatar embassy pa din ang decision kung bibigyan kayo ng work visa.
DeleteGood day po, ask ko lang po sana about sa RPR ko non reactive po xa,pero yung TPPA ko is positive pa din, nag treatment naman na din po ako,and sabi po ng doctor sa akin d naman connected sa work ko,unless makikipag-contact ako sa Employer.. Ma waive po ba yun? Tinago ko po po ang mga proof of medications ko at result ma effective po yung nabigay sa akin na treatment. Sa Saudi po ang punta ko,sabi po kase ng clinic di daw pwede i-waive dahil nagme-medical po ulet pagdating sa bansang pupuntahan. Advance salamat po sa magiging reply niyo. Stay safe and God Bless po :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, as long as di connected sa work mo, you can ask your employer for waiver letter. I have waiver letter din po sa Kuwait ko kaya ako nakapag-work dun (semi-color blind ako).
DeleteGreat job for publishing such a beneficial web site. Your web log isn’t only useful but it is additionally really creative too. There tend to be not many people who can certainly write not so simple posts that artistically. Continue the nice writing David Topper
ReplyDeleteResult ko po sa medical ay UNFIT to work due to fibrosis/pleural thickening/Mild scoliosis, going to Qatar. Advice po s akin ay onhold n lang daw po for 2nd opinion,kasi masmahigpit daw po s QVC-aseana. So ngaun balak ko na lang magapply going to UAE or Saudi. Tanong ko lang po if same result ng xray din ang makuha ko for my next prospect, pwede po kaya akong manghingi s Employer ng waiver para FIT to work n po ako at makaalis na din? Thank you s mga magsasagot.
ReplyDeleteYes po most probably samde result yan. IMHO, bibigyan ka lang ng waiver ng employer mo if yung case mo is not affecting your job. But since the reason of being UNFIT is major, 50/50 ang chance mo for waiver. Good luck na lang po.
DeleteGood morning ..nagmedical po ako papunta po sana saudi sa dh unfit cause of my gooter.
ReplyDeleteMay chance kaya ako na ma fit to work kasi yun lng talaga naging problema ko..tjank you
Good day po. May chance po kung ia-allow ka employer mo na bigyan ka ng medical waiver para maging fit to work ka po.
DeleteKapag pa ang hbsag is reactve sa unang test taoos nong nagreapeat na po is no. Reactive na po sa.ano po reason saunang test is reactve then nong inulit is non reactive na.salamat po sa sagot
ReplyDeletePancensya na po, no idea sa query nyo po.

ReplyDeleteSir i have hypertension my BP is 140/90 but my employer is willing to provide waiver can i receive fit to work result from my clinic?TYIA
ReplyDeleteYes, basta may employer waiver, i-accept ng clinic yan as fit to work for your work visa issuance.
DeleteAsk lang po, magiging FIT to Work po ba even may Thyroid? and can the employer give waiver po kung sakaling di magfit to work? Please answer po.
ReplyDeleteKung alanganin ang Clinic na i-fit to work kayo, subject for employer approval nyo po ang waiver para i-accept ng clinic na kayo ay FIT.
DeleteHi sir, I have calcification na nakita sa xray back 2009. Papunta akong africa at that time, nafit to work naman ako after ipacheck sa specialist. Then nagtuloy tuloy na pagiging ofw ko, and naka3 pa akong projects sa central asia. Tanong ko lang now is yung company ko gusto ako iassign sa saudi, worry ko baka iUnfit to work ako. Kasi sabi sakin nung 2009 di na daw mawawala ang calcification lagi ng andun yun. Ano po opinion nyo? Salamat.
ReplyDeletedepende sa criticality kung acceptable sa employer mo yun or sa KSA work requirements. Ganito, Plan A mo is ipa-check mo sa specialist ulit. Plan B mo is hingi ka ng waiver sa employer mo.
DeleteAsk lang po, may history ako ng thyroid cancer, nag undergo ako ng surgery, possible ba na mapasa ko ung medical?
ReplyDeleteYes, possible na ma-fit to work ka na.
DeleteHi po. Ask ko lang po. May hepa B po kasi ako no'ng 2020. Tas ngayon nakapasa ako para magwork sa Bahrain. Natatakot po ako na baka bumagsak sa medical. Tatanong ko lang po sana kung unfit na po ba ako at hindi na matutuloy sa Bahrain, or may pag-asa naman po ako? Sana po masagot. Thank you po.
ReplyDeleteYup, pag na-unfit declared ka pre-employment medical exam, di ka na makaka-work sa Bahrain. Dapat ma-clear na yung Hepa B mo po.
Deletegood day po. nag medical na po ako for kuwait job. nakka lungkot daahil na UNFIT ako sa medical
ReplyDeletexray lng nmn sumablay the rest is fit nmn. any suggestion about the findings BILATERAL APECAL PLEURAL THICKINING. ayaw ulitin ung xray ko. nag message saaken agency for repeat test.
sir 1st and foremost, wag nyong i-LANG LANG ang X-RAY dahil STRICT ang GCC sa healthy lungs. Kung ang local medical clinic na-declare ka ng unfit paano pa pag dating dun, magme-medical ka din dun. Kung ayaw ulitin sir ibig-sabihin matindi ang findings nyo. Expert na yang nagsabi sir, mas alam nila ang ginagawa nila. I suggest mag 2nd opinion ka sa ibang medical clinic. Wag mo sabihin na-unfit ka, basta magpa-x-ray ka lang. Obserbahan mo ang result kung same din. Pasensya na po sa findings nyo, MAHIGPIT ANG GCC COUNTRIES SA X-RAY RELATED FINDINGS.
DeleteHello po! I need your help po about my Physical Exam. Nakita ko po kasi sa paper ko na may findings po na nilagay si Doc after she check me, na "Mildly Enlarged Neck" nakakabahala po kasi i have normal neck naman, I didn't have the chance to ask her about it kasi lumipat na sya sa ibang patient. Do you think po it may affect my Medical result? Mabibigyan po ba ako ng FIT TO WORK knowing na may ganito po sa findings ko? Wala pa po kasing result na narelease. I hope you may help me po. Thank you
ReplyDeleteMinsan kasi yung remarks depende sa job position mo, baka you're in a customer service or hospitality industry. Or sometimes nagko comment lang ng ganun si dok kung sa tingin nya tlg is not normal. Yung ganyang remarks ay HINDI NA NAKASULAT SA FINAL MEDICAL CERTIFICATE MO once you are declared as FIT TO WORK.
DeleteHello po
ReplyDeleteAsk ko lang Kung tumatanggap ba ng waiver ang Kuwait. Na xray unfit po kc ang anak ko pneumonitis vs. lung fibrosis. Pwede Kaya I waiver ito? Thanks in advance po sa makakasagot.
opo, nag-waiver din ako sa health ko sa Kuwait pero related naman sa color vision. Kaso sa case nyo, hindi na po. Critical sa x-ray result ang Middle East.
DeleteMay tanong po ako, kidney transplant po ako at may offer to work Saudi arabia magiging sagabal po ba ito sa medical exam? alam po ang employer ko na kidney transplant po ako. Ex-abroad po ako.
ReplyDeletewala yan, di yan. Ang mahalaga sa Middle East (KSA) ay lungs-related at HIV.
Deletekidney transplant po anu po kaya ang result s medical exam, fit or unfit po ba?
ReplyDeletedepende kung may epekto sa normal condition as employee, kung wala, fit to work ka.
DeleteCrea ko po is 1.3 mg/dl ok po ba yun? Position ko po pgdating dun is instrument engineer
Deleteyup ok lng yan basta ma-fit to work ka.
DeleteHello po, thanks po sa mga sagot nyo. Tanong po ulit ako paano po yung MMR vaccine diba po required yun ng mga middle east countries sa OFW? ang alam ko po kasi bawal po ang MMR vaccine sa Kidney transplant recipient kasi live virus po yung vaccine, paano po kaya yun?
Deleteang alam ko sa Taiwan lang required yun, di pa ko nag-MMR sa Middle East. Bago ka naman turukan sabihin mo muna sa doctor baka may side effects. I-document mo, in case.
DeleteHello, been in kwt for 17 years and 9 years in my previous employer (I worked as a sale clerk). Came back to phil last October 2022 and got my working visa after 2 days since I arrived. Went for medical on November and had my result tagged as UNFIT, findings was right-thyroid nodule. I don't see any bump on my neck, infact none of my friend see any changes on my neck. I passed my waiver, the agency waiver and my employer waiver (as what he says it doesn't have anything to do with the nature of my job and still willing to hire me) along with my ultrasound result. I would like to know if there is a chance that I could be given a "fit to work" certificate/clearance? Thank you foe the advance reply
ReplyDeletedefinitely YES! the clinic can issue FIT TO WORK medical clearance provided that your employer waiver stated they are willing to hire you despite of that condition. May employer waiver din po nung nag work s Kuwait (semi-color blind diagnosed ako, office staff).
Delete
