I need advice my friend is going a medical exam in sales she worried about coz she having a hepa b result last 2009 and not going check up again she worried if found positive...

Dunlin

Hello,

The Hepatitis tests are for newcomers and for those looking for job as babysitters, nursery and kindergarten employees, housemaids, workers at barber shops, health clubs or restaurants seeking new visa or renewal. Such applicants will have to undergo these tests when entering the emirate and also during visa renewal process, and if found positive, would be deported.

I'm an accountant. Is my profession part of the 6 categories? I have received direct jobs offers from companies in UAE before but had ignored them as im hep b positive and I thought people with hep b cannot work in middle east.

Are you still in Dubai? I'm an accountant and planning to go there. Will they check me for hepa b?

Hi! i would you to know all that you can still work in UAE. i have read some forums that he contacted the Health ministry if he could work even if he had a Hepa b but the Health ministry in Dubai responded and says "you can and we dont see any problem with that" positively as long as you are not fallen into six categories.( possible work you can get in dubai : that doesn't required you to undergo hepa b test: Call Center, computer fields, Bellmen, postman and more. if you want you can contact this number (0097145023939 dubai ministry health nubmer)..Hope this could help you..

Medical screening result-FIT

I feel I have the obligation to share my case with you all who might be also bothered by hep b question.

My profession is technical manager. I am working for a company in Jebel Ali Free Zone.
I got the offer at the beginning of this year and I disclosed my hep b to company HR because I didn't want to take any risk. After all, moving from a country to UAE is not an easy thing.
HR was very very helpful. They asked DHA, and answer was clear and confirmative, only 6 categories will detect hep b.

Then I took the bold decision (with certain risk of course, because you never know what will happen even though DHA confirmed) and came to Dubai this May.
Last Wednesday, I got medical test and I was shaky because I was thinking if I failed, I could be deported...
I checked on internet yesterday(Sunday), only wrote "result issued" in Salem.dha.gov.ae.
I was so frustrated because I didn't know the actual result. I asked HR and the most graceful lady told me: you passed and result is FIT.
I was in such a joy and today she sent me the medical report with
"FIT" and stamp "Free from infectious diseases".

I'm looking forward to my residence visa now.
All in all, I can say as long as your profession doesn't belong to 6 categories, hep b carrier will pass medical screening.

Last but not least, wish everyone good luck and may god bless us.

Hope above helps. :-)

tanyababe

hey egie I've been in the healthcare city in Dubai,I ask the receptionist in the hospital if they required to have the hep b vaccine in the hospital and she said yes, so all employees in the hospital here in Dubai will be tested in hep b, better to apply in the business building not in the hospital

tanyababe

I think they won't tested you,because your in the office in business building not in the hospita

tanyababe

me I want to apply in a large company here at Dubai, but when I undergo an interview and exam I was disappointed because health questions are included in the exam and they ask u if u have hepatitis b,and because of that I don't know where to apply here in Dubai, that company was alghurair exchanged

egie022406

Hi tanya we cannot even apply in any exchange bussiness?

egie022406

Anyways thank you for the tips.ive got my 1st doze of antibody vaccine last week. And iam planning to continue it. So that it will not trigger so much by stress.can i ask something are they going to deport us if they knew that wr have hep b or just send to treatment center?

tanyababe

huh,antibody,theres no injection allowed to you when you already carrying the virus,it will increase your virus count,

tanyababe

I can't pursue my nursing carrier here better to look for sales in apparel and admin work, to be safe

egie022406

Hep b vaccine antibody. As per dr. Advice

tanyababe

huh, were not allowed to have hep b vaccine if your positive already, the only injection you may have is interferon but it is defend with the count of your virus in the body ,if you have >110k count of the virus they suggest you to take interferon injection medicine but if your count is < 110k they don't give anything to you just observing you once a year beacuse theres no cure and treatment for the virus and the the new studies based on their seminar. nothing to do when the virus is low count
