Hi Everyone,
I'm in the middle of the processing phase and have just been asked to provide further details of my wife's medical history.
Basically she had diabetes (pregnancy related) which her last blood test after the birth of our 3rd child confirmed she is cleared. Hopefully no further issues here.
She unfortunately has another condition regarding her skin. She is currently taking expensive medication to treat this, which is only available in some pharmacies in the UAE (currently where we reside). My questions are this:
1. What is likelihood that the same medication would be available in KSA/Aramco pharmacies? How well are they stocked compared to other GCC countries?
2. If the medication was available but is too expensive, does Aramco typically consider her a medical liability (even if the condition is non life threatening). If I'm still deemed medically fit, what typically happens in such cases?
Would appreciate any notes or thoughts from those who have gone through this process, or had similar experiences. Have been reading other posts that state its up to the department and doctor reviewing the case, but still past examples may help us prepare for what lies ahead a little more.
Cheers and greatly appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
