GAMCA Medical Clearance required by Middle East

[obrkcj]

Gamca lists diseases = unfit to work (http://balitangofw.*************/2009/07/gamca-lists-diseases-that-would-make.html)

The Gulf Cooperation Council-(GCC) Accredited Medical Clinics Association (Gamca) recently released the list of diseases that would render a person unfit to work in GCC countries

GCC states – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

These include:

Infectious category

HIV/AIDS reactive
Hepatitis B surface antifgen, HCV reactive
Microfilaria positive and malaria blood film positive, known leprosy patients
Tuberculosis – any type, X-ray showing active PTB, past evidence of PTB or healed
Pulmonary scar, including minimum fibrosis, calcification (granuloma) pleural thickening, pleural effusion, tuberculosis lymphadenitis
VDRL/TPHA reactiveNon-infectious category

Chronic renal failure
Chronic hepatitis failure
Congestive heart failure
Hypertension
Diabetes mellitus
Known case of cancer
Psychiatric disease and neurological disorders
Physical disabilities, i.e. color blindness, deafness

question:

Do they accept waivers (I have a lung scar from exposure to PTB minimal but now unreactive or healed.) Which airlines do accept waiver? Is there a chance for me to be able to work in middle east? Thanks.

dear sir
i have been informed that there is a fibrotic scar on the first right of my chest due to which a medical fit report can not be issued to me for GCC word visa. he has further informed me that this has no implications for me medically but since this is an exclusion as per gamca there fore nothing could be done.

can you please advise what i must do now

Hello..

Please can you explain me that under the physical disabilities, the lost of one eye sight will be considered as physical disability for somebody to get a medical clearance to work in Saudi Arabia but if the person does not have any problem in vision long and near and no any color blindness.
