A medical fitness certificate is a document provided by a licenced physician that certifies that a person is fit for work after undergoing a medical examination. Medical fitness certificates are typically required for a variety of reasons, ranging from travel to new work chances.

This is especially important in jobs that require heavy lifting or any other physically demanding activity. As a result, medical fitness certificates may be requested, if not mandatory, in such situations. Furthermore, such fitness certificates may be required for specific tourist places and activities, such as mountain trekking or other strenuous activities. A medical fitness certificate certifies that an individual is in excellent health and capable of performing prescribed activities or working under the stated conditions.
