Diagnostic Testing Needed

To support the certification of fitness, proper tests are carried out or recommended, depending on the specific needs of the certificate (e.g., job application or travel visa). These often include:

• Blood Tests:This involves a Complete Blood Count (CBC), blood sugar levels, and a cholesterol profile.
• Urine Test: To monitor the progress of an infection or kidney problems.
• Cardiovascular Screening: An ECG (Electrocardiogram) is used to assess heart rhythm and cardiac function.
• Chest X-ray:In many cases, it is necessary to exclude active respiratory diseases such as Tuberculosis (TB).

Special Focus Areas

Since Dr Shah is a specialist, his assessment is particularly attentive to the presence of chronic illnesses that could necessitate stable control as a prerequisite to fitness certification:

• Diabetes Control: This is crucial for monitoring blood sugar levels and ensuring they are adequately controlled.
• Blood Pressure Management: Ensure that the hypertension is controlled with proper medication.
• Cardiovascular Risk: Evaluation, along with the recording of low risk of heart-related problems.
