Emirates Medicals

The Emirates Medicals is something that everyone worries about. It shouldn't stress you out, if you know that overall you're healthy.

Here I will list all the medical tests needed to be done, and also state which ones are crucial to uploading onto the Candidate Portal.

Tests:

• HIV test
• Heamoglobin test (Blood count)
• VDRL test (Syphillis)
• Hepatitus B
• Cervical Smear (for females only)
• Dental Certificate
• Vaccinations (Yellow Fever is most important)
• Health Declaration Form
• Appendix 2 (to be completed by you truthfully and to be uploaded onto the Candidate Portal)
• Chest X-Ray (to check for any TB)
• Dental X-Ray

Overall, you should have good eye sight - 6/9 vision. Your hearing should also be good.
As far as I could see, this test is not needed to be done in your home country, but will be checked upon arrival in Dubai.

I completed all my medicals in more or less 1 day.
It's annoying, but once it's done, then you are almost there!
I only uploaded the following Documents onto the Portal:

1. Health Declaration Form
2. Appendix 2 (page 1 and 2)
3. Dental Certificate

I am still waiting now for final approval, however after I uploaded these documents, a day after, they changed my Medicals on the portal as "checked and completed"
The rest of the test results, you should carry with you to Dubai (note: keep the originals)

There are quite a lot of vaccinations which needs to be completed (you need to have the Yellow Fever one done before you travel to Dubai)
The rest of the vaccinations you can either complete in your home country, or this will be done upon Arrival in Dubai (the cost will be deducted from your basic salary)

Vaccinations:

• Polio (must be within the last 10 years)
• Diphtheria (must be within the last 10 years)
• Thyphoid
• Hepatitus B
• Hepatitus A
• MMR (Measles, Mups, Rubella)
• Yellow Fever
• Meningococcal ACWY 135
• Varicella (chickenpox)
