Please Help us to know if there is any way to remove or lift the Life ban on Medically Unfit wife (house wife), due to X-Ray report saying Small Scar (patch) on both or one Lung. Even Doctors and officials are accepting openly that these kind of applicants are NOT at all Dangerous to anyone in the community.

Please provide answers and solutions.

rehanakhtar1 , If they already banned for life time, then I think there will be no way to come out of it. But better to go and check with Visa Low authorities (Emigration).

Hi, Not yet Banned, I have to go with visa cancellation and air ticket to Medical Center Immigration department, that time they will process the ban. Then I have to send her back.

Tell me if there is any way I can skip this and get a FIT certificate.

i am also facing similar situation right now with my wife, who has an old TB scar. she has currently undergone further medical tests and are awaiting full reports. do let me know what happened with your wife's case

To prove whether the scar is from TB or some other bronchial infection there is a test called as Golden quantiferon test available in Star Metropolis Lab dubai. Kindly do the same and find out further details.

Hi All,

please advise you have any doctor or hospital to get treatment in Dubai for OLD TB.

Thanks

Hi , krs2411 ,

can you tell doesn't your wife get treatment for OLD TB in Dubai?? if yes,, please let me know ,how, where , as I'm having same issue, but for me I got visa approval as I did not go out of the country for quite long and agreed with hospital to comeback and check after 3 month.

Hi Blulady,,

I received my visa as I have been working here and did not exit the country for 2 years and my PRO is really good and helpful, but I have to go back to hospital and check after 3 month.

may be you can ask your PRO to convince the hospital to approve medical certificate.

I also check with doctor and saying that is no need to worry and no need to take treatment.

hk74 Hi dear ,i just need to know few info as my sister has gone throw from this all dilemma she is in home country now but if PRO is not aware so whom shall we consult finally.

Hi shyminal, as far as I know is that PRO is the one who can deal with doctor or you can ask PRO to let your sister met with doctor to convince for approval.

Hi i hav some question wants to know.
I got a work in Dubai and will be there in few months.
I got TB（non opennes)7 years ago and had been treatment completely ,and I got treatment certificate from my hospital (Taiwan)also I have X-ray CD (before treatment and after)
Under this circumstance,will it effect my working visa in Dubai?Will I going to be reject?
Really need to know the info.
Many thanks

mattisme , as much I know it may only affect if you would have remained same symptoms any more. But better to confirm it from Govt authorities.

Hi. I had TB in 2008 and was cured already after taking medications for 6mos. Problem is I don't have the certificate anymore from my Doctor saying that I'm already cleared. I hope you can help me with a few questions:

1) Would you suggest that I tell the clinic before hand that I had TB before?

2) Should I also tell my potential employer of my case?

3) Would there be a difference if I plan to work in a freezone such as the media city?

4) What happens when I am tagged as medically unfit? Do I get detained or can I still fix my things before getting deported?

Your feedback would be highly appreciated.

Hello everyone, I was diagnosed with a heavy chest congestion(beginning of TB) in 2011 and after taking proper medications for 6 months i was completely cured back then. I got married last year and this year came to UAE and found a job. After the medical test(at muhaisnah medical centre, dubai) they found a scar(fibrotic band) on my upper left zone of the chest and asked me to go for sputum test(which has to be given for 3 days). I am extremely happy to inform that my medical test result is clear and they have issued a fit certificate after my sputum tests were negative. So i am really hoping and believe that UAE has afterall changed their cruel laws which earlier never allowed any kind of scar or tb cases. Now they are reviewing on case to case basis so still some hope for whoever is going through the same. Good Luck to you all..

Summary : March 2013, I received employment in a law firm in D.I.F.C. (Dubai International Financial Centre), While appearing for medical test at Al Muhaisna medical centre (A part of Dubai Health Authority), suspected that I have old T.B scar- my Dubai visa was cancelled and I was deported based on this mark without given a human’s right to appeal in U.A.E. India’s well named hospital A.I.I.M.S. (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) at New Delhi and L.R.S. Super specialty T.B hospital conducted thorough checkups i.e. Skin test (Mantoux) twice, Chest x-ray, Blood test, Sputum test twice and a Chest C.T Scan – Reports Negative. Quantiferon T.B Gold test (Specially designed to detect old or latent T.B in the body) done twice - Reports negative.
Test results: Based on my negative reports, each hospital issued me the fitness certificate stating zero evidence of Tuberculosis in my body.
⦿ X-rays cannot detect old Tuberculosis: There are more than 40 reasons for lung scarring.Evidence: http://www.icomplaints.in/forty-one-41- ... 28087.html proves it false.
⦿ Blood test cannot detect old TB: Mantoux test or Skin Test or P.P.D test, Evidence : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantoux_test proves it false.
☛ Clearly mentions, Mantoux test shows false positive results.
Doctors are funded to hide this fact since their salary meter is ON and 95% deportation happens on an unreliable test termed as Mantoux test. Why the said tests are not certified in US, UK, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland like well-educated countries.
⦿ Quantiferon TB Gold cannot detect old TB: Quantiferon Gold test appears an accurate in results, but this test also shows false positive results.Evidence: http://jcm.asm.org/content/50/9/3105.full proves it false.
☛ Another proof: - Quantiferon Gold test results Negative in 2015 by (G.C.C. Approved Authority). Mantoux positive, received fitness evidence.
⦿ Sputum test can only discover active TB, hence it's absolutely impotent to detect old t.b, group of subjects, shall report negative in clinical trials..
Surprisingly, after our petition and online posts started getting viral, D.H.A doctors admitted their mistake, stating that this scar can be due to other reasons as well. In 2013, they used to assume it as just Old TB scar.
☛ As per the evidences and reports, it’s nothing more than cheating patients by doing bogus testing.
Mantoux test and Quantiferon Gold test done in two different stages for myself are showing erroneous results (Positive & Negative) both. Wikipedia is correct but doctors in Gulf countries are doing wrong by concealing this information. Any person devoid of lung scar or never had old or active TB in his life, his/her test reports will display flawed reports. Try Mantoux and Quantiferon multiple times you will know the potency of these tests.
☛ Conclusion: Apparently, Dubai health authority is performing tests which are undeveloped and incorrect. Doctors should first try Mantoux test twice on their own body and then advise others. 100% confirm they will find old TB in their own body.
International organizations do not recommend the said tests to confirm some one's medical illness in the past.
☛ As per chest specialists, there is no medicine invented yet, that can eliminate chest scars. Chest specialist confirms that marks goes on its own without medicine and as per them, there are lots of cases wherein scars vanished after couple of months or years on case to case basis.
☛ Suggestion: If you have no sign of active tuberculosis and the hospital forces you to take TB medicines, please do not accept . It has dangerous repercussions on a healthy human body.
Dr. Mario Raviglione (Director at W.H.O) named it as absolute discrimination. http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news ... es-dormant
☛ Interpretation: After my deportation, G.C.C. and India media covered my story on their channels and newspapers. Eventually D.H.A. apologized their blunders via written email, D.H.A. offered me to come back to U.A.E. on D.H.A's visit visa provided I do not complaint against their doctors but I did not accepted this offer.
While in U.A.E, you are privileged to interrogate based on the aforementioned facts. After deportation, Media is the only resort to force doctors to remove your ban. There are many cases where in deportation put on hold due to fear of media.Collectively, doctors in G.C.C are now planning to change this policy for once and all. With you always ☆☆☆
