GAMCA Medical Clearance required by Middle East
 

Gamca lists diseases = unfit to work

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 reactive

Non-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.

You could try but with the amount of fish in the sea at the moment , it may not happen
