Below are facts you might not know about the NYSC medical certificate.
1. The Controversies about the death of Corps Members

The last batch has witnessed the death of several Corps Members. We really lost some gallant Corpers to one disease or the other. May their soul rest in peace.

Most people believe that those Corpers died as a result of the hard training in camp issued by the Soldiers. Many parents would say their child was okay before he left for orientation camp. That is the major reason that led to the idea of the mandated medical certificate. They just need it as a proof that PCMs are fit for orientation camp.

2. Only Government and Military hospitals are recognized

Government hospitals are hospitals owned by the federal or any of the state governments and any of its agencies.


These include hospitals owned by the Military, Police, Customs, Federal Medical Centres, Teaching Hospitals, General Hospitals, Government Specialist Hospitals, etc.


Using a private hospital or a family hospital if there is anything like that would land you in a greater stress when you are not allowed to enter the orientation camp.
3. Can I Use My Friend Own?

No, you cannot use your friends own. Your name have to be on the test result. It’s really so funny someone will want to photocopy their friends medical report and think it will be accepted.
4. It Is Mandatory

Yes it was Mandated by the NYSC management. Remember NYSC is under the Military, and if the Military issue a mandate, any Civilian that fails to comply is on his/her own.

5. Only Doctors Employed by Government or Military Hospital can sign the Cert for you.

The Certificate of Medical Fitness must be issued ONLY by a doctor under the employment of a Government or Military Hospital. Don’t carry out the tests in a Government laboratory and get a private hospital to issue you the certificate. Such certificates would be unfit for purpose.
