Discrimination with Indians in Dubai (A serious issue for Human rights Association)
UAE Withhold my original medical reports of suspected tuberculosis.
Brutal law of deportation on an assumption based T.B scar in United Arab Emirates.
My name is Charanjeet Singh, an Indian national.
March 2013, I received employment in a law firm in D.I.F.C. (Dubai International Financial Centre), when I appeared for medical test at al Muhaisna medical centre (A part of Dubai D.H.A i.e (Dubai Health Authority), suspected that i have old T.B scar and I was deported immediately without giving me, a right to appeal.
Neither I, while working and staying in my home country or Dubai, nor my parents had any kind of T.B infection in their lifetime.
I went to A.I.I.M.S (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) hospital at New Delhi and done all my checkups i.e. Skin test (Mantoux) twice, Chest x-ray, Blood test, 3 times Sputum test and a Chest C.T Scan too on special advise by senior doctor to have a close look at the scar.
Based on my test reports, A.I.I.M.S issued me the Certificate stating that I do not have any active T.B. Senior doctors (A.I.I.M.S) asked me why did they deported you when there is no sign of T.B in our body??
Dubai Health Authority was not ready to give me anything about my sickness in written.
I ask International Health Authorites, does a patient has no right to claim his or her own medical reports ?
I really felt humiliation from U.A.E and felt depressed about this brutal and outdated law of deporting the patients just like a prisoner after he completes his punishment. I never expected this kind of behavior from U.A.E as happened with me.
http://www.thenational.ae/news/uae-news/health/deportation-laws-reform-lies-dormant clearly mentioned by Dr. Mario Raviglione (Director at W.H.O), this is absolute discrimination and it is major issue of Human rights.
Assuming the current scenario in the future,how can i suggest my Indian brothers and sisters to work or visit U.A.E.
I have lost a lot because of an outdated law, I wish from my core - no one should face the same in their life without any reason.
