Blood test - but only available in Canada

This is a tricky one, DH wants to have a blood test but they do not do it in the UAE.

I have emailed the company and they are happy to send the test and everything here (with blood collection things and instructions). DH would then have to find a hospital or laboratory willing to draw the blood and and then we would be able to send the blood back to Canada.

Does anyone know if this would be possible? or too hard with customs, regulations and finding a hospital willing to do it?

TIA

Our Pediatrician at the Dubai Mall Medical Centre recently sent dd's blood to the US for some specific Celiac testing...so I don't think it is an issue, especially if it is directed through a medical facility.

Speak to a specialist, some blood tests have been sent to Europe for testing but some are now available in the UAE recently. This may also be the case for the test you are referring to. Doctors organize for the tests to be sent to europe, do not know about canada.
