i am a staff nurse here in doha so i can give u advises on what you supposed to do before coming here. first thing is you have to submit sputum exams for smear and culture for acid fast bacillus(AAFB) for 3 consecutive days to know whether your sputum is positive for tuberculous bacilli or not. second step is to do chest X-ray to know what kind of infiltration you have in your lungs. if you have an OLD PTB then you have to prove that you completed therapy for 6 to 9 months. you have to get and bring with you a medical certificate from the doctor who supervised for your treatment.i want to tell you that qatar government is very strict when it comes to medical clearance for all the people coming here in doha. they have the MEDICAL commission where you will go to submit yourself for blood investigations and chest x-ray. the qatar government has a very strong campaign to eradicate pulmonary tuberculosis in this country in year 2010. so just be sure that before coming here you are free from tuberculosis disease otherwise you will not be allowed to get a residence permit or visa. goodluck.
