Understanding the Gamca Medical Unfit Status and Seeking Solutions

Introduction

If you’re planning to work in certain countries in the Middle East, you may have come across the term “Gamca unfit” during your pre-employment medical examination. The Gamca Medical Center plays a vital role in assessing the health of aspiring workers and determining their fitness for overseas employment. In this blog post, we will explore what it means to receive a Gamca unfit status and discuss the possible solutions available to address this issue effectively.

Understanding Gamca Unfit Status

When you undergo a medical examination at a Gamca-approved clinic, the doctor evaluates various aspects of your health to ensure you meet the necessary standards set by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. If any health conditions or abnormalities are detected that fall outside the acceptable limits, you may be declared “Gamca unfit.” This status can be a source of concern and confusion, as it implies that you currently do not meet the required health standards for overseas employment in the GCC countries.

What situations are considered to be unfit status?

Infectious Diseases:
1. HIV positive (AIDS)
2. Hepatitis (B) Surface Antsgen Poutive
3. Hepatitis C Antibody – postive
4. Microfilaria and Malaria
5. Leprosy

Non-infectious diseases
1. Renal failure
2. Liver failure or hepatic insufficency
3. Heart failure
4. Uncontrolled Hypertension
5. Uncontrolled diabetes.
6. Different types of cancer.
7. Psychiatric and neurological disorders
8 Hemoglobin below 79/100di.

Reapply for Gamca Medical Examination

Once you have addressed the underlying health concerns that led to your unfit status, you can reapply after 6 months for a Gamca medical examination. Ensure that you have completed the necessary treatments, followed the recommended timeline for recovery, and obtained the required medical documentation supporting your improved health status. By doing so, you provide yourself with an opportunity for a favorable outcome during the reevaluation.

Conclusion

Receiving a Gamca unfit status can be disheartening, but it is essential to approach it with a proactive mindset. By seeking medical advice, following treatment plans, making lifestyle modifications, and reapplying for the medical examination, you can improve your chances of achieving a fit status. Remember, there are always alternative paths and destinations that may be more accommodating to your circumstances. Stay positive, explore different options, and continue pursuing your career aspirations with determination and resilience.

  3. Dear Sir
    After how many days or months an Unsuitable (Unfit due to “Minimal Fibrosis “) person go for Wafid medical retest?

  4. Hello sir,
    Greetings of the day!

  5. Dear sir

  6. Dear Sir,

    I had done a laser ablation Pilonidal Sinus Surgery and after 15 days my surgeon told me i m fit and can go for a medical checkup at gamca centre but at centre they denied to provide me the fit certificate because of my sugery. So, can surgery be considered as i am unfit for GCC.

    1. Bro if u went gamca medical directly before pilonidal sinus surgery what may be the result. I think pilonidal sinus will not effect urs results. Your surgery is the reason.

  7. Hi,
    I have undergone minor heart surgery (ASD Closure) in 2007. Is it will effect my current GAMCA medical test. I have no heart related issues now..

      1. Sir my bilirubin is always in between 1.0 to 1.5 , currently it’s 1.39
        It’s Gilbert syndrome, so can I make it gamca fit or not

          1. Mohammed Ameeruddin

            I have the Same Problem as Rizwan Has. I have a certificate letter from Gastroentrologists stating “Gilbert-Syndrome”. Will GAMCA accepts that?

          2. High bilirubin is usually considered unfit. But if you have a medical certificate stating Gilbert Syndrome, some centers may consider you fit. It depends on the medical center where your test is conducted. You should contact them directly and explain your condition. There are also flexible centers available in South India. For more details, you can contact us.

    Dear Team,

    Myself Vishal Suthar. I have got my medical test results on 22nd april from the Ace diagnostics (Ahmedabad) for Saudi. It’s showing TPHA -Positive. I was very shocked because I haven’t any symptoms of it.

    That’s the reason why I visited to another laboratory and provided my blood sample. I found negative result.

    How can I trust GCC approved Ace diagnostics? Really I have that illness in my body or not. How can I ensure? Please kindly look into this matter.

  36. Dear sir,

    Do you know how long it takes for wafid to resolve an appeal where I already provided proof of my medical reports since the other lab gave me false hcv positive.

    I have tested in 5 other labs abd it all came negative. Now I have contacted wafid for appeal but it’s been 4 weeks already. They keep telling us one more week.

    1. first, Confirm whether the Gamca Authority you contacted is genuine, then The difference in tests is what you got when you tested from other sources and what you got when you did it in Gamca center was positive. Once you Got positive for HCV in a Gamca medical test, your chances of getting fit in next time is very low.

  37. Hello sir,
    My company apply for qatar visa but rejected due to medically unfit. I have doubt and repeated quantiferon TB test outside which get positive. I have consulted to TB specialist but he said this test don’t say you currently you have this disease so he recommended for CT scan of chest. In CT scan report calcified nodule in right lung – post infected.
    Doctor says you don’t have T.B as on today. I have also asked doctor for any medicine to get report negative but he said without any disease medicine can’t be recommended.
    Could you please advise on it?

    1. They gave you unfit because of the calcified nodule in your right lung, which is usually considered as a post-TB finding or TB symptom. If you are willing to take your medical in Cochin, there are flexible centers available. Please contact us at 8089494799 to know more.

  38. Hello sir,
    My company was applied my working Visa for Qatar. My medical was done in QVS mumbai but visa was rejected due to medically unfit. I asked them to send me the report but they didn’t provide to me. But I have doubt and repeated quantiferon TB test outside which get positive. I have consulted to TB specialist but he said this test don’t say you currently you have this disease so he recommended for CT scan of chest. In CT scan report calcified nodule in right lung – post infected.
    Doctor says you don’t have T.B as on today. I have also asked doctor for any medicine to get report negative but he said without any disease medicine can’t be recommended.
    Could you please advise further procedure how I can apply and get visa?

    1. Sir mera gamca medical k time physical checkup may dr observation may harnia likha.. Kiya mera gamca unfit hoga is wajha se plzz reply

      1. You can’t get a medical fitness certificate in this condition. You need to undergo surgery to remove the hernia, and after recovery you can reapply for the medical examination.

  39. Hello sir/madam,
    I have done gamca medical checkup 13 days before and everything was fit except the Bilirubin level was 4.35 then they priscribe me some medicine for 10 days but after taking that medicine and avoiding the things they said my bilirubin level is same.
    What should I do?

    1. We cannot reduce bilirubin levels quickly; it must decrease gradually over time. GAMCA accepts bilirubin below 1. Once your levels are within that range, you can proceed with the medical test.

  40. “The X-ray report from the GAMCA center mentioned: ‘Faint small opacities noted in the bilateral apical zones.’ I would like to know if this finding alone is enough to consider me ‘unfit,’ or if the GAMCA medical center is required to conduct further tests to confirm my fitness status

    1. In GAMCA medicals, even faint small opacities in the X-ray can sometimes be enough to mark someone as “unfit.” The centers usually do not perform additional tests unless specifically requested
