An International Health Certificate is an official document verifying that an individual's health status meets the requirements of a specific country or purpose, often required for travel or certain professions. These certificates are typically issued by a medical professional after a physical examination and may include details about vaccinations, medical history, and other relevant health information. Requirements vary from country to country.
