I have been treated for Cancer. Can I work in UAE?

Question

I have been treated for Cancer two years before. Can I work in UAE

Answer 1

You need to check with DNRD

Answer 2

Yes you can because cancer is not an contagious disease. But you should be aware that the costs of your health insurance provided by your employer will be much higher. An insurance in Dubai may exclude you whereas in Abu Dhabi where health insurance is mandatory, you have to be insured.

The UAE is only concerned about contagious diseases like HIV/Aids, Hepatitis, TB and STD.

All the best.
