So true! And the company I worked before was doing it for 5yrs now. We called it Pre-employment medical, it was my job to screen the applicant medical reports from their country of origin for the absence of those illnesses. That is mainly done to avoid lost of expenses for the company. Now, most companies are doing the same thing especially if they're dealing with Manpower agencies. Coz any applicant found out to be + w/ any of the above mentioned illness, is subject for replacement by the agencies. It does make sense, right?:)
