Get A Medical Certificate Online

A medical certificate is a document issued by a registered medical doctor or licensed medical practitioner after confirming the details of the patient through a thorough examination of the patient’s health condition. A medical certificate has various uses, like showcasing a medical problem or sickness where the patient is unfit to perform or execute their duties. A medical certificate is also used to outline the general fitness of a patient which is mostly used for applying for jobs, admission into a school or university, clearance to fly or for adopting a child. An extended version of medical certificates is also outlined when a patient recovers from a certain ailment or a caretaker is taking care of the patient. A medical certificate is also a very private document as it contains sensitive information about the patient’s health and should only be shared with necessary authorities or people.

Due to the sensitivity of the document, the consulting doctor must be well informed about the patient’s health condition, the reason for which the patient is requesting it and the validity of the medical certificate. Post having all the facts, a doctor or a registered medical practitioner under their discretion is allowed to certify a medical certificate. They are bound by legal and professional obligations while issuing such certificates. Honesty, clarity, and accuracy are paramount, and practitioners should only endorse a diagnosis they wholeheartedly believe to be precise.

Recently, with the advent of telemedicine and the approval of the Government of India and the Medical Council of India, medical certificates can now be issued online. However, they must adhere to specific formats and guidelines established for doctors to authenticate them properly.
