Q: Dear Mr ElKhatib, I am an assistant professor working currently in the United Kingdom. I suffered pulmonary TB 15 years ago (2003) and received all necessary medications. I have some scars in my right lung; however, I worked before in the USA, Germany, Japan, and other countries. Now, I have an offer from a university in Abu Dhabi but still worry about accepting it because I will resign from my job in the UK. Do these scars make me unfit?

Q: Hi! Good day! My daughter is planning to come and work in Dubai soon. My question is she had tuberculosis when she was 9 years old and she was on treatment for 6 mons that time and was treated. My question is, does it leave a lung scar? I am scared that it will show up in the chest X-ray during the medical exam. Will the UAE immigration issue a working/ residence visa for people with an old scar? Thanks, Ms A.

Kindly help me to resolve this issue as we both are new to the country and no one is guiding us properly. We are very helpless. Please, it's a request. I will wait for your reply.
