5. Pro-Tips for Bahraini Students
- Fasting: Fasting is not required. Drink plenty of water to ensure a clear urine sample.
- Menstrual Cycle: Females should avoid booking during their cycle; blood in the urine test causes delays and requires a re-test 3 days later.
- TB Clearance: If you have had a positive TB skin test in the past, bring your previous X-rays or treatment certificates to avoid a long “Bupa Medical” secondary review.
