    Hi Issa,

    Hope youa re doing fine.

    Well, I would like to have some information as to how I can get my BI through the portuguese consulate in Abu Dhabi. My birth has already been registered through a lawyer back home in Goa and since i reside in UAE, I would like to have rest of the formalities done from here. I need to hae a detail list of documentation and other requirements. Any assitance on the time frame will be highly appreciated. As per you, is it better to have the marriage registered prior to BI?
    Thanks a ton for your quick reply.

    Good morning, maam. Would like to correct you regarding the number you have posted regarding the PSH Maternity Package. The number that texted you regarding the vaccinations of your child is from the Pediatrics Department. You can refer inquiries to Perpetual Succour ObGyn facebook page. Thank you

    Hi Ma’am. Sorry about that. I’ll remove the mobile number. I thought it was under the OPD department. Can you please confirm that this is the right facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/perpetualsuccorhospitalmaternity
