Who issues medical certificates (MCs) in Doctor Anywhere teleconsultations, and what details are included?

Medical certificates (MCs) issued through Doctor Anywhere teleconsultations are provided by fully licensed doctors registered with the Singapore Medical Council. Before issuing an MC, the doctor conducts a comprehensive assessment during the teleconsultation to determine if it is appropriate based on the patient’s condition. The process for issuing MCs via teleconsultation adheres to the same standards as in-person consultations to ensure the MC is valid and acceptable by employers and authorities.

The Medical Certificate (MC) includes the following details:

• The full name of the patient
• The issuing doctor’s name and medical registration number
• The date of the teleconsultation
• The recommended rest period, including the specific dates for which the patient should refrain from work
• The clinic’s name, address, and contact information (DA Clinic @ Ang Mo Kio)

MCs issued via teleconsultation on the Doctor Anywhere app meet the same clinical standards as those issued in person at a clinic or a hospital, and are recognised by employers and authorities in Singapore.
