I have to get HIV and TB test done while moving in for the first time,
TB test means only the Chest X ray or some blood tests also are required?
There is a provision of getting the tests done in India and then showing the med examiner at Singapore these reports. Which are the reputed centers whose reports will be acceptable to doctor in Singapore?
I want to go this route as I believe there is a huge difference between the tests done here and tests done at Singapore? My only worry is that the doctor should not ask me to repeat the tests in Singapore
Anyone faced this before?

My 2 cents ??harisadu wrote: I meant cost difference

More often MOM rejects medical done overseas .. and the IPA has some info on that ...
If you have the IPA, do read up. .. been years since I saw an IPA, but it does have some guidelines on the medical tests ..
And, if you are joining a 'GOOD' company, the cost of medical will be reimbursed .. unless you plan to pocket out the difference ..
