medical checks
I have been working in Qatar for the last 4 years. I recently got a new job which required me to go for the new medical report. when I went they said that my x-ray was abnormal. they asked me questions like if I had ever gotten sick of TB and I said no. then I was given a later date for a more tests. I was injected with something which they took measurements after 2 days. it came to13mm. I later came to know that this substance if once injected with it, will always be positive. I told the nurse that in my first medical test I had been injected again but she didn't listen. they then said I should go to yet another blood test which I went after one more week. note that I had already resigned from my old job and now waiting for the commence date to the new job. but these people are telling me that I am sick while I haven't even lost a gram in my wait or felt anything in my body. so I read through research that medical is also allowed from Doha clinic. I decide to go there and have a full check . when I went I get more surprised because the doctor says that I am 100% okay. and the shape of my lung is natural I was born like this. There is no problem with my lungs. I then take this copy of medical report with me to the medical commition and explain to them that I need a new check because these reports I got also from a qualified doctor. this people then turn me away saying that unless I hand brought the medical report from Doha clinic before they sent me for a referrals at rumila hospital. remember that this is my fourth week trying to get clear . I then go to rumilar hospital and tell them my issue's. with me I take the new medical report from Doha clinic. the reception gives me a date to come back on august. I ask her if she was serious and she says yes. now am fed up and I refuse to go because I can see that these people are very in human . they want me to lose my job just for no reason. then I ask the reception if I have TB truly. and it was diagnosed a moth ago and now you are telling me to come on august will I be alive or dead. then she thought for a while and changed my appointment to 12 July. I am requesting any one with an idea or experience about this to pls advise. because I am frustrated . no salary is coming because I already resigned my old job. I already have an ID varied until 2017my sponsor is my husband. what can I do which doctor will I trust.?
Hi all.
Lastly I went to lumila hospital. the doctor asked. do u have an id. I said yes. then want are you doing a medical for I said I need a certificate. she kept quiet for around 10 minutes then she wrote something on my report which i read later to be. She can stay in Qatar but take medication. she is fit to work. I was sent back to medical commition and after two weeks I got my certificate. am steel under a dose which will go for the next two months.

Hi Uluwatu06. I am exactly in situation similar to you. Please keep posted what happened next. I am worried a lot.
Ones again thanks uluwatu06. at least I feel better from the answer u lastly give me . let me have Godly hope that I will be allowed to work at long run. I don care what the doctors will say but my full worry is work. I also wish u the best as u wait for the next check.
Hi Lewi M,
1. I don't see any reason why you can't work. From what i have gathered, only those needing to make a Qatar ID will go to MCommission, else any other medical check-up required by the company (for medical coverage, insurance purpose etc) will go to other private clinic. But it's really a relief to have gotten good news from your independent check on your own accord.
2. I don't really wish to comment on the doctors here, but your sentiment is as good as mine i am sure.
3. I am working and i do not have a Qatar ID. Feels like an alien in this country.
Thanks uluwatu06. I already read your experience. But my questions were 4. one is I have an ID already will I be allowed to work if they say that I have to take medicine even if I fill okay. number two was why are the doctors differing one saying that am healthy an one who does not answer even if I talk to them says am sick. no three comes to you please. do you have an id are u working. my new job is office job. how long is it going to take please some one advice.
