True or False: Medical certificates don’t require a check-up.

False.

Some people think certificates are just pieces of paper, but every request involves medical care. A patient once called a GP in Mentone for a certificate due to a headache. What looked like a minor matter turned out to be a warning sign of stroke. A quick check and the right questions made all the difference.

Why It Matters

Medical certificates are more than admin — they’re linked to your health. A doctor’s assessment ensures you’re safe and that serious problems aren’t overlooked.
