DIFFERENT MEDICAL POLICIES

 There is a matter of disconnect in the medical world in different countries. We often see FATTY liver diagnosis on ultrasound which is not the case in some countries. They consider this entity as a non-disease and nothing to worry about. But here in the Philippines, a reading of FATTY  LIVER  can bar a person to be employed and doctors treat it vigorously with phospholipids and vitamins.
Several years ago HEPATITIS b positive OFW's were allowed to be deployed abroad and host countries did not bother to check them. Suddenly the Dept of Health of the Philippines ruled that these people should not be employed.
What really is the issue on this? Both diseases are not a treat to one's health nor are they communicable.
Recently, I have seen a lot of patients applying for work abroad having EXTERNAL HEMORRHOIDS . This has been made  a ground for denial of employment abroad. What is this?
