A chest X-ray is one of the many compulsory tests for GAMCA medical. This diagnosis detects any abnormalities, and individuals with specific health issues are not permitted to enter the GCC countries. If detected, the visa of that individual is not considered “FIT.” An unfit certificate would not give you a permit to enter the GCC countries.
But what kind of abnormalities can make you unfit? If this is your question, read this blog to know about the X-ray issues that may cause hindrance in obtaining the GAMCA fit certificate. X-rays can only be done from GAMCA-certified clinics allocated during the GAMCA medical registration.
What is a Chest X-ray?
An X-ray is a scan of your chest to detect any kind of health problems related to the lungs. The chest X-ray is a painless and quick process done by taking images with X-ray machines. Generally, health issues like tuberculosis, pneumonia, heart failure, lung cancer, sarcoidosis, and scarring of lung tissues are detected.
Any abnormalities in this chest X-ray report given by the authorised GAMCA medical clinic will make you unfit for visiting GCC countries.
Problems That Get Detected During a Chest X-Ray
The abnormalities include the following:
1. Lung infection with active tuberculosis
2. Old scars for TB or visible lesions that were earlier treated, but are considered unfit to travel.
3. Complications related to COVID-19, lung infection, lung damage, scarring, or residual tissues.
4. Bronchitis or asthma, which can cause shortness of breath
5. Visible pulmonary nodules, seen as white spots, demand further examination for cancerous tissues.
6. Build-up of fluid in and around the lungs is known as Pleural diffusion.
7. Any deformities in the rib case or the spine.
These findings in the medical test results can lead to rejection of the visa. So, a prior check-up and proper treatment are essential.
