salam,
this is what i am in the quest of to find out wether a man with hepatitas C positive reactive or non reactive is elgible for the CSS EXAMS or not?
but no one in the forum is going to answer the question.....
i do not know why?
SO PLZ ANY ONE WHO KNOW ABOUT THIS PLEASE GUIDE US ACCORDINGLY
SO PLZ ANY ONE IN THE FORUM................

AoA

i do pray for your welbeing and prosperity

the medical test of candidates is even carried out after interview and certainly hepatitis can be checked through LFTs.

As per Rules for CSS-2007, the clause on 'MEDICAL TEST' states:


"9. (i) All candidates except disabled must be in good mental
and bodily health and free from any physical defect likely to
interfere with the discharge of their duties. The candidates who
(after such medical examination as Government or the appointing
authority, as the case may be, may prescribe) are found not to
satisfy these requirements, will not be appointed."

In this context, it would be more appropriate if you try to contact any Medical Officer of Government Hospital associated with the process of recruitment of CSS.

well dont worry it isnt much difficult or as u people are thinking that one can easily be rejected on the basis of medical grounds.their must be solid reason.
well what happenes in a medical test for govt officer appointment is as under.
1. eye examination.
2. blood test.
3. urine analysis.
4 chest xray( for TB)
5. ECG.
and u once u go through all these test then along with reports of above mentioned tests u have to stand before medical board for medical examination in which they check ur pulse, heartbeat by stethoscope, and thats all.

well hepatitis C is curable disease nowdays, but one becomes permanent carrier of the disease and can be a cause of transmission to other (conditions apply) .but what i know is that any one with communicable diseases (like tuberculosis etc) and mental disorder is not fit for govt job.i my self saw a man who was refered to hospital in karachi for laboratory test of mental disorders.
but dont worry it isnt much difficult.

dear Dr.junaid
i read your post a couple of times but could not find out answer whethter a hepatitis C patient go through css medical or not ???? just yes or no answer plz in both cases reactive and non reactive

plz do also tell me whether hepatitis C is communicable or not ????

ur right, Dr. Junaid.

hepatitis C is a curable disease but i dont know if the F.P.S.C. has any rules regarding such diseases.

@ Dual Personality
Hepatitis C can be cause of transmission to others but only through blood to blood contact......if the person is a carrier, i dont think it should have any effect on the person's duties as a Csp officer.

but it would be better if u call the F.P.S.C. office urself and have it confirmed there.

best of luck,

1. These regulations are published for the convenience of candidates and in order to enable them to ascertain the probability of their coming up to the required physical standard. But it must be clearly understood that the Government of Pakistan reserve to themselves an absolute discretion to reject as unfit any candidate whom they may consider, on the report of the Medical Board, to be physically disqualified for the Services and that their discretion is in no respect limited by these regulations.

2. If any change is made in the standard of physical fitness, an announcement will be made accordingly before the examination.

3. Night blindness will be a cause of rejection for District Management Group, Police Service of Pakistan, Customs and Excise Group and Railways (Commercial and Transportation ) Group”.

Disabled candidates in the categories of physical, hearing/speech(deaf & dumb) and visually impaired (blind) are allowed to compete for Competitive Examination against four occupational groups/services viz; (a) Commerce & Trade Group (b) Pakistan Audit & Accounts Service (c) Information Group & (d) Postal Group.
5. To be passed as fit for appointment a candidate must be in good mental and bodily health and free from any physical defect likely to interfere with the efficient performance of the duties of his/her appointment. Candidates whose height is less than 1524 millimetres will not be considered physically fit for appointment to any of the BS 17 post under the Federal Government. In the case of female candidates, this standard will be reduced to 1473 millimetres for posts which are completely sedentary provided the weight of such candidates is not less than 43.5 kilograms.

He/She will remove his/her shoes and be placed against the standard with his/her feet together and the weight thrown on the heels, and not on the toes or outer sides of the feet. He/She will stand erect without rigidity and with the heels, calves, buttocks and shoulders touching the standard; the chin will be depressed to bring the vertex of the head level under the horizontal bar and the height will be recorded in millimetres.

The arms will then be lowered to hang loosely by the side and care will be taken that the shoulders are not thrown upward or backwards so as to displace the tape. The candidate will then be directed to take a deep aspiration several times and the maximum expansion of the chest will be carefully noted and the minimum and maximum will then be recorded in millimetres 838—890, 864—927, etc. In recording the measurements fractions of less than 13 millimetres should not be noted.

(A contact glass or lens is defined as a glass shell, the concavity of which is in contact with the globe of the eye, a layer of liquid being interposed between the lens and the cornea. The meaning of the word “glasses” wherever used above is to be interpreted as not covering contact glasses.)

Candidates for the Police Service of Pakistan must have 10 sound teeth in the upper jaw, functionally opposed to 10 sound teeth in the lower jaw. Two of these teeth in each jaw must be molars. Well-filled teeth will be considered as sound

(d) that the candidate’s chest is well-formed and his/her chest expansion sufficient; and that his/her heart and lungs are sound ;

(m) that the candidate is free from communicable disease.

24. When any defect is found it must be noted in the certificate and the medical examiner should state his opinion whether or not it is likely to interfere with the efficient performance of the duties which will be required of the candidate if the condition is remediable by operation it should be so stated.

25. If a candidate is declared medically unfit by the Central Medical Board, he/she will be informed by the Federal Public Service Commission that he/she has been declared medically unfit. The candidate will also be informed of the particular defect or defects for which he/she has been declared medically unfit. The candidate may prefer an appeal against the decision of the Central Medical Board to the Federal Public Service Commission, Islamabad, within 14 days of the receipt of the information. The appeal must be supported by two certificates from the doctors of standing stating inter alia that :—

(a) They are in full knowledge of the facts that the candidate has been examined by the Central Medical Board and declared unfit; and

(b) That they have read the Rules and Regulations for physical fitness required of the candidates for the Competitive Examination.

26. Government, however, reserve the right to deal with the appeal as they deem fit and do not bind themselves to constitute a second Medical Board for the medical examination of the candidate concerned. No further appeal shall be entertained against the decision of the Appellate Board and the case shall be treated as closed.

27. This issues with the approval of the Government”.
