These expats have now approached the Indian embassy in Muscat urging it to alert other Indian migrants not to fall prey to Carino National CT & Diagnostic Centre, which is providing medical certificates despite not being authorised to issue such certificates to Oman visa applicants, a news report said.
The centre's main office is located in Goa and a branch is operating in Calicut, the Times of Oman report said.
"We landed in trouble by taking certificates from the centre. They made us believe that they have the right to issue medical certificates for visa services. One of the certificates which we sent to Oman was not cleared," Jaison and Sajeev told the newspaper.
"When we enquired about this with the hospital authorities they provided us a new certificate and told us there would be no problem in future. But when we landed here and went to the foreign affairs department, they said that National Hospital is not authorised to issue medical certificates to Oman visa applicants.
