Hi all,

One of my friend, who is a healthy Hepatitis B carrier has asked me to advise on whether he should accept a job offer from qatar or not.

Two years ago in Qatar, the medical tests conducted for Engineers / NON food handlers were:
1) TB
2) HIV
&
3) Syphilis

Please do update me about the latest medical tests that are conducted for Residence Permit for Engineers / NON food handlers.

Thanking you all in advance & awaiting your valuable comments & information.

best regards,
Big Deal

Having positive for Hepatitis B or C is not healthy. I request to take medical tests before coming here in Qatar, if the test remains positive then, don't waste your time coming to Qatar, try other GCC.

Both Hepatitis B & C are tested for now. However I do not know what happens if the test comes back positive.
