CertifyMyHealth enables eligible individuals to consult with registered medical practitioners through a secure online consultation. Following a clinical assessment, the consulting doctor may issue a Caretaker Medical Certificate, where medically appropriate.
Whether the certificate is required for caregiver leave, compassionate leave, family medical support, workplace documentation, or institution-specific requirements, our consultation process is designed to be secure, transparent, and professionally managed.
What Is a Caretaker Medical Certificate?
A Caretaker Medical Certificate is a medical document issued by a registered medical practitioner after an appropriate clinical assessment.

The certificate is issued only where the consulting doctor determines that it is medically appropriate based on the information available during the consultation.
