Ju Ev- medicals

hi, I am currently in dubai.
Medicals before you leave- chest xrays, hearing test, eye test, general medical eg, height/weight/ever been seriously ill etc etc...
blood tests- ONLY for HIV and Iron blood count

then when you arrive here you don't have your medicals until 3 days after you land- make sure you don't take any cold medicines such as Lemsip/beechams, sorry don't know the international brand names- but you know what i mean- the powdered paracetemol stuff you add to hot water!
once you pass medicals then you can have them whenever you like. when you get accepted by ek they send you a list of certain drugs banned in the uae- coedine being the major one- used in some painkillers.

just make sure your doctor signs every single form correctly, and if possible, get all your injections done in your home country, and make sure they are still valid!!
