Online Medical Certificate in Kangra
For families of soldiers and veterans, pilgrims who fall ill, paragliding students at Bir, caregivers and people recovering at home.
Kangra district sends more young people to the armed forces than almost anywhere in India, and many of its villages are home to veterans and soldiers' families. Pilgrims crowd the temples at Kangra, Jwalamukhi and Chamunda, paragliders fly from Bir Billing, and serious cases go to the medical college at Tanda. You can request an online medical certificate in Kangra from your phone, and a registered doctor reviews it.
If the doctor approves, it lands on your phone.
Simple requests often get reviewed in around 40 minutes. A phone call can add a little time.
Soldiers' and Veterans' Families
Serving soldiers and veterans use the forces' own medical system and ECHS. Family members with private jobs or studies can use this service, for example to care for a parent or to get a fitness certificate for a new job.
Coming Home to Care for a Parent
If you're posted far away or work in Chandigarh, Delhi or abroad and have come home because a parent fell ill, a caretaker certificate covers the time you spend caring for them. Upload any hospital papers.
Caregiving at Tanda
If you've taken leave to stay with someone admitted at the medical college at Tanda, a caretaker certificate covers that time. Tell the doctor the dates and the reason for admission.
Paragliding and Adventure Courses
Some paragliding schools at Bir and adventure courses ask for a fitness certificate before training. The doctor reviews your health history and may call you. Check what the school needs first.
Pilgrims Who Fall Ill
If you came to the temples at Kangra, Jwalamukhi or Chamunda and fell ill, you may need a certificate to explain missed work back home. Tell the doctor when you fell ill and the days you missed.
A Student's Request
A software engineer from Pune signs up for a paragliding course at Bir. The school asks for a fitness certificate. He applies, shares his health history, and mentions an old knee injury that has healed. The doctor calls him with a few questions, then issues a certificate stating what the review supports.

Students
Students from Kangra studying in Chandigarh, Shimla or Delhi sometimes need a fitness certificate for admission or a certificate after missing exams. Check what your college accepts.
When the Doctor Says No
If your details don't support a certificate, the doctor won't sign it and will tell you why. If you're getting worse, see a doctor at the nearest civil hospital.
