hepatitis B infection

assalam mr muneeer your kids were born here in uae or home country? if here then what was the cost for vaccine and for delivery i think for hbv+ mothr they charge more for delivry
please confrm and thanks lot lot for information

My all kidz were born in Pakistan this vaccine I bought from pharmacy about 6000 rupees 260 AED and hospital did not charged any extra cost for delivery. Because they are already using Sterlized tools.

hi Asi, they dont charge extra.... they will charge for d antibodies or immunoglobulin inj the doc will give to the baby .. u can even go to GMC  hospital , Ajman...DR. Kasturi.. but do tell her u r poitive...they treat u like normal patients.... dont worry.... u will b fine.... doctors never  discriminate  their patients .... she is such a fine doc....she will not even mention again to you ...unlike a few gynae in shj hosp...dont want to name ....pls take care....LOL

Hi, all brohters and sisters,

Everyone seems to be silent. The Gazette will be released today, isn't it? Does anyone of you had the chance to read the Gazette today and verified if the New law to remove Hepatitis B has been published?

We are eagerly waiting for the implementation of the new rule. I have been checking almost all newspapers and Government website, so far, there is nothing new but I hope we will have the good news within a day or two.

There have been some meetings of the Minister of Health and other members of the Health Ministry, where they have discussed about various things, such as Health Policies, etc. They might have been updated about the new laws.

You can check it here: http://www.moh.gov.ae/en/NewsDetails568.aspx

Although its not very specific, but its just to keep the forum a bit alive.

Wish you all the best.

Greetings to All,
                  Don't sit just quit please update us what about gazette is it released or what ? Keep praying may ALLAH resolve our issue and implement the rule .
 
Regards
   Sagar

I am frustrated now.My time already finished.I don't know what I will do.Please update for implementation date of the new law.

the following two weeks, there will be some new guys come DUBAI in my company, then they will go for a medical check and i will update that if the law is implemented or not.
As of now nothing happened in Sharjah.

Ministry of Health Announces Amendments to Expats Medical Check ups
Monday, 23, August 2010    Category: News



Hanif Hassan: No Additional Fees and Amendment Includes 5 Articles

The Ministry of Health announced the amendment of certain provisions of the Cabinet Decision No. (7) for the year 2008 concerning the labor and residence medical checkup system for expatriates following the approval of the Cabinet on these amendments.

Hi Excellency Dr. Hanif Hassan, UAE Minister of Health, said: “The latest amendments are designed to eliminate any existing gaps as a result of the increased numbers of foreign labors to work or reside in the UAE. No additional fees to be increased for the checkups hence they remain the same i.e: 250 Dhs for certificate of diseases that pose threat to the public health such as AIDS, hepatitis (b), tuberculosis, leprosy, syphilis, 50 Dhs for examination of domestic maids, 50 Dhs for the first dose of immunization against hepatitis (b), hence the second and third doses of the same immunization are free of charge, 200 Dhs for the authentication of health insurance from the private sector”.

His Excellency Dr. Hanif Hassan explained that the new amendments modified 5 articles of 12 covered by the previous decision thus replaced articles 2,3,4,5 and 10 of the cabinet decision No. (7) of 2008 concerning the expats labor and residence medical checkups.

His Excellency added that the ministry plans to increase the numbers of labor medical checkup centers, if necessary, reassuring that the amendments of previous labor medical checkup system are made to develop work in the health sector and protect both nationals and residents from infectious and communicable diseases that world is experiencing nowadays and can be transferred into diseases that cannot be resisted according to the reports of international health organizations.

His Excellency Dr. Hanif Hassan called to activate the labor medical checkup centers and use the latest technologies in light of the great progress and development around the world, pointing out that the Ministry of Health is planning to develop plans and systems that guarantee the highest degrees of accuracy and health safety. Due to the existence of many nationalities in the country, the UAE had to set up an integrated accurate system that is subject to continuous development whenever the need arises.

The amendments of the law where as follows:

Article (2):

All expats arriving to the UAE for the purpose of working, studying or residing must make medical checkups provided in the provisions of the law that determine the conditions for granting residence or renewal visas according to the types of injuries or the following categories:

1-AIDS:

Tests are needed to detect the disease for all expats arriving to the UAE either for residency or labor for the first time or when renewal. The residence or labor visa are not granted to positive cases for the first time or when renewal as they are considered inappropriate.

a-The labor medical checkup is limited to the new arrivals either for labor or residency for the following 6 categories: nannies, housemaids, nursery and kindergarten supervisors, workers in hairdresser saloons, beauty centers and health clubs, workers in processing and food control authorities, workers in cafeterias and restaurants.

b-residence or labor residence or renewal visa shall not be granted to positive cases.

c-The vaccine must be given for the negative cases of the new 6 categories arrivals on condition that they should take 3 doses and provided a certificate proving the dose. At the time of residence visa renewal, they must show a vaccination certificate for approval or exemption from the vaccine. In case they do not show this certificate at the time of renewal, the vaccination must be taken again and an additional fee of 500 Dhs must be paid.

3-Tuberculosis Test:

Tuberculosis is limited to tuberculosis only. The tests are made for new arrivals only but all cases suffering from new, old, or active pulmonary tuberculosis are non-medically fit and shall not be granted residence visa.

4-Leprosy Test:

Leprosy test is made for new arrivals at the time of issuing residency visa for the first time. At the time of renewal, the residency visa is not permitted to all positive cases.

5-Pregnancy Test:

All maids, nannies and female drivers must have a pregnancy test before issuing the certificate of diseases that pose threat to the public health. In case of positive pregnancy, the sponsor has the choice either to allow her working for him or not. If the sponsor refuses, then he must write a written consent with his acknowledgment of the test result.

Article (3):

Syphilis test is limited to all the previous mentioned 6 categories whether at the time of issuing a new or renewed residence visa. The treatment must be provided to all positive cases before obtaining the health certificate.

Article (4):

With regards to the provisions of the articles of this decision, all members of UAE nationals such as husband, wife, children and parents who carry the UAE nationality or non-holders are exempted from this decision.

Article (5):

All positive cases for the diseases that are described in article (2) of decision must take all preventative procedures for the diseases that may pose threat to the public health stipulated in the federal law No. (27) of 1981 concerning the protection of communicable diseases. The procedures include:

Deportation of all positive cases that prove to have such diseases at the time of residence visa or renewal according to the medical checkup results. All concerned health authorities determined by the Minister of Health must implement these measures in accordance with the vested authorization under the provisions of the federal law referred to above.

Article (10):

The fees concerning the application of the provision of this decision shall be as follows:

250 for the certificate of diseases that pose threat to the public health i.e. AIDS, hepatitis (b), tuberculosis, leprosy and syphilis, 50 Dhs for house maids, first dose for the immunization against hepatitis b, 200 Dhs for the authentication of health insurance from the private sector. Companies that have more than 10 representative employees must pay: 500 Dhs for local representatives every 3 years and 1000 Dhs for expat representatives every year.

Article (12):

The decision shall be announced in the official gazette and shall take effect from the next day of publishing

Some websites still they are confusing about the new Visa rules. That's why I posted new rules regarding Hep-B, what actually published in www.moh.gov.ae website.

I hope, very very soon,it will be implemented,Inshaa Allah.All of us pray GOD.

a-The labor medical checkup is limited to the new arrivals either for labor or residency for the following 6 categories nannies, housemaids, nursery and kindergarten supervisors, workers in hairdresser saloons, beauty centers and health clubs, workers in processing and food control authorities, workers in cafeterias and restaurants.

This part b of the rule is result for these 6 categories if found positive.

Qatar: testing for HBV is based on profession. So, if the applicant is not into medical career, hair saloon, food handler etc there will be no requirement to test for HBV. To get more insight into this you can refer to the following forum

http://www.qatarliving.com/discussion/m … -02dec2006

Actually, this forum lists posts from year 2006 until present. You will have to be patient and read through quite a bit to reach this conclusion.

All brohthers and sisters,
today I got news from one doctor from ministry of health in one state ( I am not mention state ) , he said to me that .... Sure, Maximum after Eid, new law will implement.

http://translate.google.com/translate?j … il&act=url

i went to Knowledge Village Medical Fitness Centre this morning, the doctor told me that HBV will be test for all new Work VISA, HBV will not be test for renew VISA except 6 category position as Rules mention.

Please you guys check again,

cooldog,

are they talking about the old rule?  the new rule is not implemented all over UAE, please clarrify with them if it is old rule or new rule?
