Medical Exam-Grounds for denial

Hi,
I've been told I have COPD-evidenced by some scarring on my lungs-is this enough for me to be denied access to Qatar?

you'll only have issues if your scars are related to TB(old TB case) or things like that, otherwise not a problem:))

I can see that for sure, pretty sure I'm free of TB though. Just wanted to make sure I'm not moving my family, quitting my job etc to get rejected!

I dont think you'll be denied to work here, coz COPD is not a contagious disease!

doc in the States explained it in his findings. Said it was due to a viral infection that sealed itself up and scarred. I passed my chest x ray here too..

I would guess that if you react postively to a TB test AND the xray you're gonna have issues with the testing here..

And they never commented?

I hear they were only looking for TB then I heard that if you have scarring it could be a problem....
