In UAE, If You Are Infected with Corona Virus, Your Bill Is Free

Whether they have insurance or not, novel coronavirus (nCoV) patients in the UAE will be treated for free, health authorities assured.

In a recent Dubai Health Authority (DHA) circular issued to hospitals based on directives from the Ministry of Health and Prevention (Mohap), all DHA-licensed health facilities must consider suspected or confirmed cases of the 2019-nCoV as emergency cases.

The circular stated that all health facilities must classify the cases in two categories: one for those with insurance coverage and another where insurance coverage is unavailable.

"If the patient has insurance, the cases shall be treated as emergencies according to insurance regulation and insurance companies will honour any claims received," it noted.

Meanwhile, for those who are not insured, "the cases shall still be considered emergencies and suspected or confirmed cases will not bear any payment of healthcare costs at any healthcare facilities."

The move aims to ensure the health and safety of the community and to contain patients with confirmed or suspected infection, and provide them with proper health services.

Currently there are five nCoV-positive patients in the UAE, including a four-member Chinese family and a Chinese tourist.

Recently, one of them--a 73-year-old woman from China--has recovered from coronavirus. She thanked the Emirati health officials for the care provided to her and to the three members of her family.

In spite of the rising prices of commodities and services and others due to the high inflation rate, many Filipinos believe that the country is on the right track. Just recently, the new minimum fare is being set to P10 while the minimum wage remains stuck. That is what the latest SWS survey indicates. Ads Sponsored Links The latest survey shows that from 70% in the second quarter of this year, the statistics went up to 75%. On the other hand, only 22% believed the Philippines is in the wrong path while 3% of the 1,500 respondents did not give an answer during the conducted survey. Malacañang welcomes this result as a vindication that the administration is doing their job the keep the country on track. “PRRD emphasized in numerous occasions that as government workers, we are here to serve the people. Our objective as public servants is thus being able to perform our respective duties well,” Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo said. “Therefore, we treat the results of this recent survey not as an accolade but as an inspiration for our men and women in the government as they persist in carrying on with their roles in the service,” Panelo added.

Dubai OFW's P15.6 Million-Peso Fine For Overstaying Is Waived Thanks To Amnesty

The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Ras Al Khaimah has decided to waive a Filipina's Dh1.08 million fine for overstaying illegally in the Emirates for 31 years. Khaleej Times reports she is one of four beneficiaries of the ongoing three-month amnesty in the UAE whose penalties have been waived. As part of the amnesty, they will be allowed to return and work in the UAE in the future, with the proper travel documents of course.
The General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) in Ras Al Khaimah has decided to waive a Filipina's Dh1.08 million fine for overstaying illegally in the Emirates for 31 years. She is one of four beneficiaries of the ongoing three-month amnesty in the UAE whose penalties have been waived. As part of the amnesty, they will be allowed to return and work in the UAE in the future, with the proper travel documents of course. She had entered the UAE on a visit visa in 1985. She then worked as a housemaid with an Arab national as per a legal residency visa in the first two years, but later became an illegal resident since then - for a total of 31 years. Due to the long time spent working while being an illegal resident, she would have to pay 1.08 million Dirhams or an equivalent of 15.6 Million pesos in accumulated penalty (Exchange rate Dh1 = P14.45). This was the case before the UAE government decided to start the amnesty campaign. There are almost 700,000 overseas Filipinos workers (OFW) living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 450,000 of which live in Dubai comprising 21.3% of the total population of Dubai. It is the largest population of Filipinos in the UAE, followed by Abu Dhabi and Al Ain. OFWs in the UAE sent over US$500 million in remittances to the Philippines. Expatriates who are staying illegally in the UAE are encouraged to apply for the amnesty. For more information and guidance about what the amnesty is all about and how to avail of it, please check out these posts: This post is filed under: UAE, Dubai, Abu Shabi, Amnesty, Illegal Resident, work in the UAE, beneficiary, Dirham, exchange rate, Tourist Visa

10 Offenses That Can Get You Fired Without Notice In The UAE

Whether you are working in a private or a government job, some offenses are so bad, they can get you fired on the spot. In the UAE, the labour law lists these 10 career-ending offenses that workers must avoid. If you make any of these mistakes, you may need to refresh your resume and go back to doing a job search while working part-time jobs.
Whether you are working in a private or a government job, some offenses are so bad, they can get you fired on the spot. In the UAE, the labour law lists these 10 career-ending offenses that workers must avoid. If you make any of these mistakes, you may need to refresh your resume and go back to doing a job search while working part-time jobs. Working abroad exposes foreign workers to different working conditions as well as environment. This is why it is important for a foreign worker, like an OFW, to be aware of local laws and regulations so that they could prosper in their new work environment. Getting fired without proper reason or justification, also called arbitrary dismissal, is of course illegal as seen in this video below. The following list below are things that one MUST NOT DO in the UAE, lest he or she gets fired on the spot: 1. If the worker adopts a false identity or nationality or submits forged certificate or documents; 2. If the worker is engaged on probation and is dismissed during the probationary or on its expiry; 3. If the worker makes a mistake resulting in substantial material loss for the employer, on condition that the latter notifies the Ministry of Labour of the incident within 48 hours of his becoming aware of its occurrence; 4. If the worker disobeys instructions respecting industrial safety or the safety of the workplace, on condition that such instructions are in writing and have been posted up at a conspicuous place and, in the case of an illiterate worker, that he has been acquainted with them orally; 5. If the worker does not perform his basic duties under the contract of employment and persists in violating them despite the fact that he has been the subject of a written investigation for this reason and that he has been warned that he will be dismissed if such behavior continues; 6. If the worker reveals any secret of the establishment in which he is employed; 7. If the worker is finally sentenced by a competent court for an offence involving honour, honesty or public morals; 8. If the worker is found in a state of drunkenness or under the influence of a drug during working hours; 9. If, while working, the worker assaults the employer, the responsible manager or any of his work mates; 10. If the worker absents from his work without a valid reason for more than 20 non-consecutive days, or more than seven consecutive days, in any one year. If you are not happy with your current employer, do not risk doing any of the things above. Instead, you should resign the proper way (as explained below). Working abroad is never easy. Always be ready for anything, including the possibility of losing your job. Always be open for other career, job market, or even business opportunity.
