| 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)

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).
DeleteResult 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.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
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).
DeleteGoodmorning po, ngapply po kasi ako pa saudi sir, at nung ng medical ako unfit to work kasi nakalagay sa xray ko ay Glanuloma, right lower lung, so umapela po ako kasi nung feb lang po ngpa xray ako at relugar po kasi ang medical namin at ngwork din po ako dito sa pinas, kaya ang sabi ng agency dalhin ko daw po ung feb xray ko at ung march na galing sa clinic ng agency, para daw po mai compare at maipadala sa d.o.h. wait daw ako 2 to 3weeks pp results, pero convern ko din sir pwedw po ba e waiver ng employer ko pag may ganyang findings na Granuloma right lower lung? Sana po masagot nyo po.salamat po
DeleteGood morning din. Pag lungs at HIV related, I doubt i-waiver ng employer kasi dyan mahigpit sa visa issuance ang middle east government. Yup, pwede naman i-waiver ng employer yan.
DeleteTy sir, mag update ako dito kung ano finding ng d.o.h. 1 week more pa ko maghintay, salamat po sa pagsagot sir.
Deletesure, antay ko update, karangalang makatulong sa fellow ofw. basta alagaan mo lang lungs mo, cardio work-out ka everyday.
Deletehello, I am planning to get a medical para sa work sa kuwait pero I am a bit afraid po kasi marami na akong na bunot na molar tooth. will it make me not fit to work po and fail the medical test since I cant wear denture yet since bago lang ako binunutan?
ReplyDeleteit depends sa job requirement mo per Kuwait labor law. Kung aesthetic lang, you have only minor case, it will not make you unfit BUT merong remarks yan kasi nga baka masagwa lalo na kung front desk ka or someone na makikihalubilo sa mga customer.
DeleteHi sir. Ok kaya magpadental ako dto samin bago ako magpunta magpamedical. Last time kasi back on 2017 noon pinapila pa ako for cleaning ng ngipin, wala kasi nakita na problema sa ngipin ko kaya pinacleaning nalang siguro noon. Balik ulit ako abroad, pero plan ko sana magpacleaning na ng ngipin sana dito samin, di naman na siguro icleacleanjng ngipin ko pag tapos na siguro. Ang alam ko din every 6months ang cleaning ngipin pag sa dentist
ReplyDeleteyup, ok lang. kahit ako, laging problem yang cleaning n yan at ang mahal ng clinic charges nila. Sabihin mo sa Dentist mo after k nyang linisan hingi ka ng dental certificate para hindi ka na paulitin.
DeleteHello po, may upcoming schedule po ako sa Qatar Visa Center. Tanong ko lang po magiging unfit work po ba ako bilang isang post kidney transplant? (kidney transplant due to hypertension) anu po dapat kong gawin?
ReplyDeleteHello Sir. As long as your medical Exam result is declared FIT TO WORK, walang dahilan si Qatar Visa Center na i-unfit ka. Mahigpit lang ang Middle East sa lungs-related (TB) at HIV.
DeleteMay tanong po ako, dalawa po ang nag-offer sa aking ng work at yun po ay sa saudi at qatar, tapos na po ako mag-medical para sa saudi at fit to work na po while sa qatar po this week po ang visa and medical ko, sa saudi po for biometrics na po ako this week tanong ko po hindi po ba ako magkaka-problema kung mag-biometrics ako sa saudi at qatar? thank you po.
Deletehindi na po, formality ng records mo na lang yan, actually biometrics is for identity confirmation na lang for police / immigration record. Good to go na po yan.
DeleteMahigpit po ba ang Qatar medical exam?
ReplyDeleteMahigpit lang ang Middle East countries sa lungs-related (TB) at HIV.
DeleteHello po, thanks po sa sagot. Worry po ako sa MMR vaccine kasi bawal po yun sa isang kidney transplant, anu po pwede ko gawin?
Deletehingi ka ng medical certifate sa Clinic na nagsabi at proof that MMR vaccine is not allowed after kidney transplant.
Deletehello po, may ticket n po ako papuntang Saudi...thanks po sa advice at opinions po, tanong ko lang po pwede po b mgdala ako ng prescription medicines ko kasi post kidney transplant po ako at my maintainance n gamot, kung ok po mgdala ng gamot gaano po karami pwede kong dalhin po?
ReplyDeleteYes po, pwedeng-pwede AS LONG AS dala nyo yung ORIGINAL PRESCRIPTION NOTES ng Dr. at paki-google kung yung mga medicines nyo ay HINDI BAWAL sa Saudi. Yung dami / amount hanggat maari is exactly or less sa nakalagay sa prescription notes. Hanggat maaari din humingi kayo ng medical certificate to prove na you undergo kidney transplant. Ingat po.
DeleteGood day po. Same case po kami ni mam marconnic, pero wala kasi syang update about sa case nya kung naka alis ba sya o hindi. Ang sabi po kasi ng agency ko is pwede silang magpa waive kay employer about sa case ko na granuloma left upper lobe (small). Ang tanong ko lang po is, kung halimbawa po nagbigay ng waiver si employer at naka alis po ako papuntang KSA, paano po pag sa KSA is makita ulit yon, possible po ba akong mapa uwi kahit na may waiver na ibinigay si employer sa akin? Natatakot kasi ako, baka masayang yong pagpunta ko doon. Though sabi naman sa clinic na nagmedicalan ko harmless sya, 1 spot lang sya na maliit pero kitang kita tlga sya.
ReplyDeleteYes po, kasi parang hindi ata uso sa ibang bansa ang waiver in regards sa health requirement nila sa mga local jobs nila lalo na expat ka. Yup harmless sya though we never know ano ang EXTENT ng condition criticality para sa kanila.
DeleteThank you sa pagsagot po. Marami rin kasi akong nababasa na may same case na andon na nagwowork, pero mahirap pa rin umasa. Hoping for the best pa rin. First kasing apply ko sa Kuwait, pero hindi ako nakapasa dahil doon, tapos may naka usap akong agency at yon nga ang sabi, pweding ipa waive kay employer kaya nagtry ulit ako pero sa KSA naman na ito ngayon.
ReplyDeletein my honest opinion, i-gamble mo na lang at least you've tried. Or try to ask someone sa KSA health department kung pwede yang case mo. Yun lang pag nag-gamble ka, mapapagastos ka pag failed. Handa mo na lang sarili mo sa ganun.
DeleteYes. Nagtanong ako sa pinsan ko na nasa Riyadh at sinabi ko yong case ko sa kanya. Nasa government hospital din kasi sya at ang sabi naman nya, hindi naman daw sobrang higpit ng Saudi kaya itry ko pa rin. If ever kung ano man ang mangyari, mag update ako dito, para kung may iba pa na same ng case ko, may makuha din silang idea. Mahirap kasing maghanap ng sagot sa mga ganitong katanungan. Salamat ng marami sa pagsagot at sa oras na inilaan mo.
DeleteHi po admin, Above sa normal po Ang creatinine ko NASA 139.4 umol/l, Ang normal po kasi NASA 115 umol/l lng as per medical range. Mabigyan po ba ako ng medical clearance or automatic unfit na po ba base sa result? One more pwede ba ako maka hingi ng waiver sa company ko pra ma fit to work ako kung sakali? salamat po.
ReplyDeleteYung Medical Doctor lng mkkpagsabi kung FIT ka. Ngayon kung 50/50 si dok s yo base din kasi sa job requirement mo, yes pwede ka humingi ng waiver para ma-FIT ang Final status mo.
DeleteHi Sir, I took the medical exam at PMTS last August 10. Nilagyan po ng mga doktor for ECG, Dental prophylaxis and reading glasses po ako. Ask ko lang kung may effect ba ito para maging unfit to work sa medical certificate?
ReplyDeleteAlthought im planning to take these medical exams outside the clinic coz its too expensive. If ever po ba maayos ko yung kulang i-fit to work nila ako?
1st, yes required lahat yang additional test sa yo. Yung dental prop pwede sa outside clinic yan basta after hingi ka ng certificate, yung ECG sa kanila na, madali lang yan. Yung reading glasses ganun din, pwede sa labas basta ensure mo nabasa mo lahat nung ippbasa sa yo.
DeleteDi ka ma-unfit kung di mo magagawa mga yun, di ka nila iisuehan syempre ng medical cert, incomplete ka eh. Yes kung ok nmn mga result, FIT TO WORK ka. Imho, minor lang mga yang request sa yo, gastos ka lang ng konti. Ganyan na tlg medical now, sensitive, dami required.
Sir, if magawa ko yung kulang ko. Ilang days hintayin bago i fit to work med cert ko
DeleteGagawan pa kasi ng Final document yan, I-assess pa ng doctor for final signature. Actually almost same case tayo. Within 3 working days lang depends syempre sa mga nk line up for final assessment.
DeleteGood Day! I am an aspiring OFW applicant bound for Dubai. Sad to say guys, I am remarked as 'Unfit to Work' in my medical exam due to VDRL Reactive/TPHA Positive. I read same situations here but I asked my employer to provide me a waiver on this matter. He told me to provide me him a copy then he will just sign it. Guys, do you have a sample copy of an Employer's Waiver? Can I have please? Thank you.
ReplyDeleteDi madali yan sir, dapat may compensation ka sa waiver na hihingin mo, professional letter po yan. Yung fb page po nito pm ka dun.
DeleteHi, if po ba under government ang pag trabahuhan malabo talaga ma re consider if lung scar ang issue? Last yr kasi sa Qatar nakapasa ako pero since under government ang airline hindi talaga ako na fit to work. This time sa saudi pero since GCC same outcome pa din kaya or mas considering naman si KSA, or basta ptb related kahit negative from hospitals, wala talaga?
ReplyDeleteSiguro po i-consider nyo na lang as GCC is strict if the critical finding is lungs-related be it government or private sector. Kasi kung private man yan dadaanan pa din yang result mo sa government before they issue you a work visa. Kahit makalusot ka dito sa pinas, pagpunta mo dun medical exam ka ulit kasama syempre x-ray. Mas ok ng dito sa pinas mo na nalaman ang kahihinatnan mo kesa pauwiin ka agad, imho. Try mo sa non-GCC like me, wfh na ko, western ang mga amo ko, mababait. Wala pang ganyang medical requirement.
DeleteHello po, tanong lang po may pagasa po ba mafit to work ako if ang findings sa XRAY is minimal pleural effusion/thickening? Ano po alam nio available option pag may ganito na findings? Bound for dubai po ako. Salamat po.
ReplyDeletedepende po sa employer nyo yan at nature of work nyo po
Deletehello po tanung kulang po may pag asa po ba akong makaalis may employer napo ako sa bahrain at at medical ko po ay elevated sgpt at may roon naman po akong medical certificate at fi to work naman po ako pero still taking medication papo ako fit to work naman po ako anytime yan po naka lagay sa medical certificate ko may pag asa po ba akong makakuha ng waiver or maaprobahan yung waiver ko thank you po sana po masagot po thank you po
ReplyDeleteYES, may pag-asa kang makaalis, meron ka naman palang FIT TO WORK Cert, ang waiver syempre depende sa employer mo kung hindi sya maarte mag-issue nyan. Umalis ako to Kuwait I have waiver din from my employer, nagkataon lang na office ang area ko kaya madali mag-issue nun.
DeleteUnfit medical: reticulonodular and fibrotic ptb on xray....
ReplyDeleteMay waiver po ang employer ko from Saudi Arabia..
May power ba, i-reject ng Clinic yung waiver?
nag second opinion aq sa 2 ibang clinic, 2 xray ko "Normal chest study"
Thanks po..
no, pwede yan. though baka "50/50" ka dahil mahigpit ang clinic at medical ng work mo abroad. Upon arrival, mag-xray k din dun. Sa pagkakaalam ko, no bearing ang waiver ng employer sa govt clinic as part ng requirement ng work visa issuance mo.
DeleteHi, are there situations po ba na fit to work ka ng GCC accredited clinic dito sa pinas tapos pagdating sa Qatar biglang unfit to work na? Ang xray findings na nakalagay is essentially normal chest po pero nagwoworry lang na baka mamaya maging unfit pag masa Qatar na. Madami kasi akong cases na narinig napapauwe daw po kahit nasa Qatar na for unfit pero di ko alam kung totoo nga ba.
ReplyDeleteKung mapauwi ka man hindi dahil sa x-ray mo based sa result. Mahigpit lang ang GCC medical sa lungs at HIV related. As long as nklgay sa medical test mo is FIT TO WORK, you're good to go.
DeleteUnfit Medical: blunted costophrenic sulcus, makakakuha po kaya ako ng waiver? at makakaalis po kaha ako ng bansa?
ReplyDeletelungs / x-ray related, as long as curable or not related to TB at yang diagnose s yo is hindi makakaapekto sa work mo, you can ask your employer for waiver (hope maintindihan nya yan). I googled parang di naman critical.
DeleteHi, may findings kasi sa xray ko yung RIGHT UPPER LOBE AND LEFT LOWER LOBE FIBROSIS, hiningian po ako ng waiver ng clinic from agency and upon checking po sa employer ko sa saudi tanggap pa din daw ako kahit na may findings. Pero balak ko po magpa 2nd opinion sa ibang clinic. Ask ko lang kasi ung agency ko dito sa pilipinas pinapirma ako ng waiver stating na wala silang responsibility sakin kapag napadeport ako and hindi sila sasagot ng gastusin. Pinapirma nila un bago ako bigyan ng waiver para sa clinic. hindi ba ako makakaproblema kapag nakaalis nako? and yung emloyer ba sa ibang bansa yung sasagot ng gastusin ko kapag nagkaproblema?Thank you
ReplyDeletenakupo sir, magkaka-problema ka nyan (opinion ko po). 1st, dapat ang waiver ay mangagaling sa employer mo not sa agency or through your agency coming from employer. 2nd, upon arrival mo po sa work country mo, mag-memedical ka ulit at x-ray. pag dun they didn't declare na FIT TO WORK ka, matic immediate deport ka pabalik pinas. imho po, BAD ang agency mo. yes, magpa-2nd opinion ka at don't sign that agency waiver. general rule, the moment you departed pinas po to work abroad with agency assistance, matic si agency din ang may responsibility sa yo pabalik pinas.
Deletemay waiver naman po si employer ko sa saudi para po sa clinic. notarized po yun ganun din yung agency may waiver na sila sasagot ng pabalik and penalty sa contract once na nagkaproblema pero bago po nila ako bigyan ng waiver for clinic eh pina sign ako ng another waiver nga na stating na wala na silang responsibility sakin once na napabalik ako and hindi sila ang magbabayad ng GCC Penalties. Ang akin lang possible po kaya na may contract yung employer ko sa saudi and agency ko dto sa pinas na sasagutin ng agency ko yung expenses ko pbalik? Thank you
Deleteang dami palang issued waiver sorry. imho, yung another waiver re once you went back sa pinas is reasonable since nakabalik ka naman peacefully with no payment from your side and since you know you have some defect / illness before you departed pinas. ano pala main question/worry mo sir sorry! na worst case if ever pabalikin ka ba ng pinas eh magbabayad ka? I believe po HINDI po and I believe there's a tiny chance na i-deport ka kasi may signed waiver ka na pala from both agency/employer. They know your x-ray defect is minor that's why you have signed waiver from them.
DeleteHello po good afternoon. May chance po ba n iaccept po ng employer ako kasi nakita po s medical ko n may mild dextroscoliosis po ako, qatar po ang destination as a service crew s mcdo., overall naman po ng lab test ko ay normal yun lang po talaga ang problem yung mild dextroscoliosis 14° cobb angle po
ReplyDeleteIf your medical clinic declared you're UNFIT TO WORK, this clinic will request for your employer waiver to confirm that your condition is not critical to your work.
DeleteDi naman po unfit nakalagay s medical ko pending pa po.. pero sabi sa agency for waiver na daw po ako wait nlng daw po ng update
Deletegood, it means yung findings ay hindi critical. Waiver is ok, naka-waiver din ako nung na-deploy ako sa Kuwait. Pag may waiver ka na, FIT TO WORK na result ng medical mo po.
DeleteMatagal po ba bago twagan para pumirma ng waiver?
ReplyDeletedepende sa amo yan eh o sa processing nila dun. Sa akin since need na nila ko mga 1 week lang.
DeleteGood day po, ask ko lang po sana paano po ako makakakuha ng waiver pra sa right eye ko, po kasi ako nakakabasa sa rigth eye ko. di po kasi ako nakakabasa malayo or malapit sa right ye ko.
ReplyDeleteGood day din. Ang Employer mo lang makakapag-decide at makakapag-issue ng Waiver. Either asked the agency to ask the employer for your case and the employer will issue waiver if it's ok for them.
DeleteHello po. Nag full medical po ako sa clinic na recommended ng agency ko (Nov 2024), tapos okay naman lahat except, nag repeat lang ako ng cbc ko(Dec2024), at dahil matagal bago ako nagawan ng visa, inabot nalang ng Feb 2025, at sabi ng agency nag expire na medical ko, need ko daw mag full medical ulit,So I did. Yun nga lang, on the same clinic, nagkaproblema Xray ko,may pulmonary fibrosis daw ako, at ni recommend ni clinic na mag Xray ako ulit, Feb 25,2025, just 2 days apart nag XRAY ako ulit at yung result ni clinic ay may PTB ako. So nagpa second opinion ako sa ibang clinic {of my preference,DOH accredited naman} and voila, CLEAR YUNG XRAY KO, No problem at all, tapos ni-refer ako ng pulmonary doctor na magpa sputum ako, at negative din ako, Wala akong PTB , clear baga ko. Nung ininform ko yung agency ayaw nila tanggapin 2nd opinion ko sa ibang clinic, kasi gusto nilang sa recommended clinic nila ako mag full medical ulit. So sinunod ko yung suggestion ni agency at nag full medical ako ulit sa different clinic na recommended nila( 2 clinics by the way ang nirekomenda nila sa akin and both recommend clinics by the agency, diagnosis nila ay may PTB ako), so now March 28,2025, nagpa Xray ako ulit sa ibang DOH accredited clinic of my choice, and once again clear yung baga ko, at wala akong PTB. Any idea po kung anong tamang aksyon gagawin ko? Di ako makaalis dahil sa gantong findings sa Xray ko. Thanks sa sasagot.
ReplyDeleteGood day po. Sa 2 recommended clinic nila may PTB ka, pero sa ibang DOH accredited clear ka. My opinion po, 1st i-insist mo dun sa any 2 clinics nila na clear ka sa ibang accredited clinic kasi ang agency sa health certificate mo lang magbabase ng FIT TO WORK ka, ia-attached to sa visa application mo. 2nd, pag di pumayag yung reco clinics nila, you asked suggestion sa reco clinics para ma-FIT TO WORK ka kasi nga clear ka nga sa iba. Again, mag-insist ka, makiusap ka, need mo ng ma-fit at umalis blah blah daanin mo na sa drama. Si agency mo kasi wala talaga magagawa dyan sa FIT TO WORK cert mo unless may "conspiracy" sila na low-key hino-hold ka nila for "under the table" issues. 3rd, pag ayaw pa ding mag-issue ng FIT TO WORK or mag-suggest how to clear si reco clinics at ayaw magsalita or matigas na parang iniipit ka, magpa-3rd opinion or 4th opinion ka na then i-raise mo na sa DMW or DOH. Check their websites my email at phone naman dun. Kahit ngayong 2nd opinion at ayaw i-accept or mag-suggest ni reco clinics i-submit mo na dun as parallel action kung parang matigas talaga sila. Daanin mo lahat sa pakiusap bago mo gawin 'to.
DeleteHello, mag migrate ako sa Ireland have my work visa already. I recently did my medical exam and was told that I was unfit to work due to my heart disease.
ReplyDeletemeron akong rheumatic heart disease since 13yo and only need to take oral meds (no past or upcoming surgeries). Basically, I can do normal daily activities. I work a regular office job.
When I had my medical, I disclosed my condition and my medications. Hindi na nag ask ng cardio clearance yung doctor or any follow up. Not even my 2D echo results or ECG. To my surprise, the said clinic automatically tagged me as unfit to work. I went to the clinic and the physician (hindi sya yung nagcheck sakin) opened my folder and said "unfit nga". I then offered to provide him medical clearance from my cardio then he said na "pwede rin" and asked me to get ECG and clearance.
Do you think mapapalitan nila yung initial Unfit to Work if may clearance? Will this affect my employment in EU and getting my OEC? I am sure my cardiologist will provide clearance since she already gave me 1 year worth of prescriptions in case di ako makahanap ng GP. Is it possible to have my medical in another clinic if hindi pa rin ako bigyan ng clearance?
Maraming salamat!
Opinion ko lang po as experienced ex-OFW ha...
DeleteYes, mapapalitan nila yung UNFIT to FIT TO WORK basta may medical clearance ka. No, it will not affect. Wala pakelam na dyan ang OEC, sa EU since my work visa ka na, di na papansinin yun unless they requested new medical clearance. Yung 2nd opinion dapat sa kanila manggagaling to prove na FIT ka para i-honor nila yung findings mo dun.
thank you po! nagbigay po ako clearance from cardio pero humihingi ng waiver yung clinic na pinuntahan ko para i clear ako
