Dear All,

I did my Medical Check up on 20th September 2010 at Al-Ain and I got my Medical Fitness certificate today. I am Hep B positive, Renewal Case and not from six categories. I did not talk to any doctor or officer, I just went, gave my blood and got the certificate today.

May Allah Bless you all, I wish you all the best.

Dear sasha2010 and sagar2,

MOH clearly mentioned in their official web site that they will check Hep 'B'only for six categories for both new arrival and renewal.

Again I pasted here from MOH only Hep "B" article.

---------------------------------------------------------------
2-Hepatitis (B):

a-The labor medical checkup is limited to the new arrivals either for labor or residency for the following 6 categories: nannies, housemaids, nursery and kindergarten supervisors, workers in hairdresser saloons, beauty centers and health clubs, workers in processing and food control authorities, workers in cafeterias and restaurants.

b-residence or labor residence or renewal visa shall not be granted to positive cases. (for above said categories only)

---------------------------------------------------------------
But still some websites they are confusing their readers. As per new rule, any Hep "B" carrier will not get either labor or residence visa, if they fall in above six categories.

Thank you.

Hi to All,

I went to al baraha hospital and talk to official.
Please be noted that I took my 1st and 2nd medical test before in Al baraha where I was diagnose hep b+ . and this official who gave me my hep b + report now is saying that they are implementing the new rule.He told me that I don't have problem now so he made me took my medical test today. The result will be release on Monday.

Hope this would be clear to everybody now.

Does anyone have an blood test experience in Central Hospital, Abu Dhabi?
Yesterday afternoon, I have gone to the hospital for inquiring whether the new law is implemented or not? Firstly, one worker of health exam office told me if I'm a new comer, I need go back. Then, I ask another nurse. A lady told me you need talk with a manager of labor certificat office on Sunday. It looks like no one is acquainted the new law. So I afraid I will hear a bad message on Sunday. Could anyone tell me the situation of Abu dhabi?

Thank you!

Dr. Azza from Khalifa Medical Centre has confirmed that the law is implemented, but because their IT systems are still being updated, your testing for hep will be done anyway, but fit certificate will be awarded because the law is for the whole country.

go ahead an confirm 02 633 1300 ext 247

Dear All,

2000 posts, Amazing! And this forum is still going strong. There has been 130000 views! It shows how useful and supportive all fellow expat members have been.

At least now we can say the law is being implemented all be it in a prolonged way where you will have to see a doctor to get your fit certificate after being tested for HBV+. I'm sure in a short period of time the Health Authorities will adjust to make the test smoother where you won't actually be tested at all for HBV+ if you don't fall into the 6 work catogories.

As to lifting the ban on previously deported people, its still unclear the time it will take to do this. I have tried with my contact by means of appeal to the Health Authority to see if I can hasten the process. However I am still awaiting an outcome.

If you have a partner that was banned and sent home, the best thing to do in the mean time is go to the Communicable Disease department of the Health Authority. And raise your case with the officer there. The more people appealing to their better judgement can only help to hasten the ban to be lifted. The positive thing about the Health Authority is that they are at least saying they will lift the ban which is better than them saying nothing at all.

If I have any further news next week I will inform you all.

best regards

Hi ,

Agree with everyone here hope there will be new improvement on how ban could be lifted out becuase that is the only way we can rejoice and know where we start with the processing again and by the way any idea if the Al satwa clinic and Al Muhaisnah Medical fitness centre is implementing the new medical rules.

Thanks

I want to also finish medical test for my wife as she is HBV carrier.(Hbeag - Negative, only Hbsag +ve)

Can you please suggest me, which SEHA hospital to go in Abu Dhabi for medical test in order to get fit certificate. Before your wife's medical test, Did u discuss any health official?

Expecting your reply.

Thanks and regards,

Unfortunately, ADNOC upholds it's policy regardless of the new residence rules. Moreover this policy is enforced throughout ADNOC subsidiaries (Adma, ZADCO etc).

ADNOC is ADNOC, well known to be rigid and hence I don't see any hope that they might change this policy.
