Dear,
I am here from almost 1 year. My brother want to come here in Bahrain for work visa but according to the rules he need to conduct medical in Bahrain. In the medical the conduct Anti HCV ( Screening) which is positive for him, but if he go for Quantitative PCR test for HCV.
The status for that is not Detected. Because already he completes medication and gets cured.
Now he wants to come here in Bahrain and wants to do job in a company. I am finding answer of this question from more then 6 months be until now I not received any authentic information.

My question is what is the rule of Bahrain about this kind of situation ( if Anti HCV ( Screening) is positive but HCV Quantitative PCR test is negative ) medical report for visa will be fit or unfit?
