PULMONARY SCAR PROBLEMS!!!

Pray to God.. he will make your paths straight.. may God bless you.

Ann 78, I am fully agree with you, that's very true. Good suggestion for the new people who were planning to come here ..................... thanks ............

I had TB 10 years ago but fully recovered. Before I came to Qatar I have done all the necessary medical check up and informed my employer regarding this. They accept it, because I am perfectly healthy, but when it comes to Qatar Medical Commission, it will be different story. To cut short, my medical status was unfit and my employer send me back to my home country. My honest opinion, if you had TB before, better don't risk leaving your current job as I think chances to work in Qatar are very slim.

12 years spending in school ......1 day restday and destroyed all by a scare .......no future i could seen in my future....why this happen on me....i hope i die soon...im tired of hoping that one day my scare will be healed......im running out of time......

After all the sweats and time processing all the needed documents just to prove that your OK but now still useless. Now im giving up the job offer to me!

To malen, try to talk wid ur agency or to ur employer. Discussed wid them that ur already ok. Because some employer accept that case. Im just unfortunate because my employer are so strict wid lung scarring.

Or ask for 2nd opinion.

Here's a link which i think could help you.

Godbless!

hello dirk, same situation with my sis, she was also depressed when they told her shes unfit bec of scar in her lung which is 15yrs old, all medical test is negative except her chest x-ray ... everything are set and ready na, but suddenly all went crazy when the x-ray result is done.

please help what should we do now ...

For now, i dont know what to do. I just have talked to my agency but i heared all negative insights from them. And im running out of time because anytime they will send the results to my employer. My last option, is to talk to my employer in qatar for any options that i could do.

Godbless us!

Dirk41 any update.. because i have scar too but in my 2 previous xray they didnt see any scar or maybe they didnt include it from my findings... i have jod offer too to qatar and hoping i can pass the medical..

The clinic where i got my medical exam just said to me " You are not fitted in Qatar". I just get frustrated because they dont even give me some options or advised. Its just easy for them to say that youre not fit to work. They dont even think that you already waste your time and money.

Same situation with me. I already had a job offer Qatar. and i already finished my medical exam here in manila. Unfortunately, they find out that i have a scar but they said i dont have any diseases and im free from PTB.

But they unfit me to work.

What should i do? I really need the job offer.

Im planning right now to go to Lung Center to ask for clearance. Is that OK?

Please helped me.

guys, i got my ppd reading of 6mm after 48 hrs.. am i TB positive? is it possible that if you are negative based on your ppd result you will be positive from sputum and blood tests?

thanks!

how do you know if you pass or fail? is there any kind of notifications.. how long?

mine was 12 years ago and I dont carry any med certificates from the philippines. I have a scar on the upper right on my lungs.I have taken the medical exam just last week. no reasults yet. Iam worried about the situation.

Dont they get additional test like sputum test?

Because I took one such test last year to check and i was negative.

Hi! Tulad ng sa wife mo, sponsored din ako ng husband ko at may visa na, visit din lang ako at hindi magwo work. Nakita sa x-ray ko na may PTB scar ako. Pwede bang malaman kung ano na ang nang yari sa pag sponsor mo sa wife mo, nakapunta ba siya at ano ang ginawa nyo? Thanks.

God Bless . . .

Hi Sabrina, I have the same problem with my wife due to an old scar on her lungs during her childhood. I sponsored her last month to visit Qatar. What are the procedures in order to get an approval or no objection from medical commission if they notice the scar? do they honor private clinic certification?

I also asked a pulmonary expert in the Philippines & Radiologist and they all agreed that the scar is permanent & non-reactive. Anyway she only stays at home & im the one working.

Best Regards!

yup. but if they required me to take medications again i will not abide coz i really dont have the disease anymore. Also the PTB meds can coz liver disease if taken excessively.Are those qatar medical commission doctors a lung specialists? Why cant they recognized the active tb from scar? I just told it with my employer already and yes before i go to qatar i get health certificate here in the philippines and make it certified by their embassy here in the philipines. My employer by the way is alfardan hope they will help with it. This is ridiculous.by the way i will bring all the xray films to prove that i undergone medications. thanks..

My husband was exposed to TB 10 years ago and had old scars, and the medical commission freaked out a bit. At first, they wanted to just deport him. I fought it. He is not the one working, so he was not deported. However, they required him to take 6 months worth of TB medicine.

Be prepared that your visa may be rejected. Definitely get everything as certified as possible - make sure to get it certified by the Qatari embassy in your country. This apparently holds more weight. It will also depend on who your sponsor is...if they are connected, it won't be a problem. If they are not, it can be a problem.

Good luck!

yup i have medical certificates from pulmunary specialist here in the philippines as well as all the x-ray films to prove that i undergone medication. hope they will consider it coz im already healthy right now and no more signs of ptb. im afraid coz i've read some forums in inet that qatar didnt recognize ptb scar.they will automatically recognize this as active tb.anyway i just told this to their pinay hr in doha.many thanks again.anyway my ym id is

Over here the medical check is done based on blood and chest X-ray, if your scaring is negligible then you have a good chance of getting away with it, if not and it is noticed then you can be rejected, although maybe if you explain it to them with all the documents you have they will make an exception.

One thing here in qatar is that all the Good doctors have been kicked out of the Government Medical Service. So you are left with all the crappy ones who get jobs cause they know arabic or they got it through qatarization and the Asian nurses here know better. You do not have a choice as far as expertise goes so might have a little trouble trying to get your point across since but Hey never say die....

Good luck to you, make sure you get reports certifying that you are completely free of the condition and it is certified by acceptable health authorities in your country. Get a certified doctor list from the Qatar Embassy in you country, and get it certified by them....
