Thanks for this info. Very useful for some of us with high CNs.
would you advise someone to do such medical examinations from elsewhere before heading to IOM? I imagine it would relieve some stress/anxiety.

nop waste of money....just do them early.....unless you think you have TB(maybe be tested for this)

Thank you Nayfara for the insight. Just clarify something please, does it mean if you are given the CD then you are ok?
Also are you given your x lay film to take to the embassy? And which physical defects can lead to a denial. You also talked
about 8 weeks for TB, what did you mean. Thanks in advance

if given the cd you are okay
the 8 weeks is how long it takes to get the results on whether or not you have tb
dont take the x ray cd to the interview you will need to carry it when travelling.

Totally agree, for guys with high numbers, i also advice to go check the TB, its the main show stopper, because if they find spots on the x ray you have to be back for 3 days in the morning and if confirmed, you do medication for i think 2 - 4 months, if you know early, then you can get treatment now, so that yo results are cleared when you go for medical. otherwise in Aug or Sept, if they tell you u have TB, you are out.:confused:

Thanks indeed!
I have another question; for children, is it advisable to give them some vaccines in advance for instance pneumococcal and yellow fever? I understand once you already have proof they wont repeat the vaccines. Kindly advise. Thx.

I inquired of the same and they told me they wont repeat vaccination done elsewhere as long as they are captured in the vaccination card.But I would rather have a clean certificate from IOM..

What do you mean by a clean certificate? Have they ever doubted other certificate other than from IOM? Had a yellow fever and hepatitis B done.
