As I am medical professional ,I got offer in Qatar , but reading all the forum regarding visa and medical test , I have done privately in GAMCA medical centre ,blood report is fine but want know that is chest X-ray shows minimal apical pleural thicking can be fit to work in Qatar ,as I know the causes of this condition ,done the HRCT, in my case HRCT finding says is due to ageing , but the reading GCC guidelines the won't accept any other report, so my question you people that , In Qatar they consider this and should I go ahead with procedure for getting job

GAMCA is just relying on the parameters provided by GCC. Sorry to say u were given with unfit. If you want to push through with your application, you will have difficulty once you are here. Good luck!

Thanks for reply , no current or past history any lung diseases , high resolution CT chest says no evidence of any diseases or infection in current or past, but GAMCA gives unfit on X-ray

What does GAMCA clinic say? Fit or unfit? Qatar is very strict to chest X-rays. If they find something on your x-ray, yeah, they will help you cure it in a hospital here. But if it is a hopeless case and from 1 to 3 months, deportation will follow. Make sure everything is cured / no visible thickening in your lungs. Mind you Qatar has invested too much on its medical equipment.
