Question 1

I'm in the process of applying for a visa and found out I need a medical certificate. They mentioned I have to be certified by a doctor to show I'm not suffering from any illness that could affect public health under the International Sanitary Act 2005. I'm really nervous about it and not sure what kind of diseases they're checking for. Can you help me understand what this is all about and what I should expect when getting this certificate?

Accepted Answer

visit a qualified healthcare provider, undergo the required tests, and ensure that the medical certificate reflects that you do not have any communicable diseases in accordance with the International Health Regulations (2005).

Question 2

I just realized I drank water from a glass that had a mosquito floating in it. I'm kind of worried because I ended up swallowing it. Can you let me know what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

nothing will happen

Question 3

I'm a bit worried after a street dog touched my nose and licked my hand this morning. It happened around 11, and I washed my hand about 10 minutes later. The dog didn't bite me, and there's no wound on my hand. Do you think I should get a vaccine for this, or is it okay to wait and see?

Accepted Answer

no need

I'm a bit worried after getting my blood test results which show that my CRP level is 1.6 mgL. I've read that this is considered a moderate risk, but I'm not exactly sure what it all means. Could you help me understand more about CRP and whether there's anything to be concerned about with my health?

CRP is indirect marker for active or recent infection,your CRP levels are normal no need to worry,consume balanced diet and more fruits.
