Railway Staff, Check This First
Gorakhpur is the headquarters of North Eastern Railway, so many people here work for the railways. Railway employees usually have to report sick through railway doctors, and a private certificate may not be accepted for sick leave.

AIIMS and BRD
Patients from across eastern UP, Bihar and Nepal come to AIIMS Gorakhpur and BRD Medical College. Families often stay for days. If you're on leave to look after someone admitted there, a caretaker certificate is the right request.
Visitors From Nepal
Many people from Nepal come to Gorakhpur for treatment, work or trade through the Sunauli border. If you're in India and need a certificate for an employer, you can apply.
Fertiliser Plant and GIDA Units
The fertiliser plant and the units at GIDA employ many people on shifts. Permanent staff often use the company's medical system. Contract workers should ask their supervisor what proof they need.
Children's Fevers in the Monsoon
Eastern UP has a history of encephalitis outbreaks in children. A child with high fever plus drowsiness, confusion or fits needs a hospital immediately. Call 108.
A Teacher's Request
A teacher at a private school in Gorakhpur catches a viral fever in August. The school needs a certificate for three days. They apply, describing what's wrong. The doctor asks about rash and bleeding gums and issues a certificate covering the days their symptoms justify.
