Thread: Should immigrants & assylum seekers be screened for diseases in Finland?

Should immigrants from outside the EU and assylum seekers be screened for communicable diseases such as HIV and TB ? Should their children be screened before they are sent to schools in Finland in case they pass on TB to Finnish children ?

Russia (right nest door folks), India, Africa amongst others are witnessing a surge in TB, often linked to HIV. Should assylum seekers be screened for these infectious diseases before being released into society ?

In many countries, you have to take a HIV test before being granted a work permit.
