Some simple requests are reviewed in about 40 minutes, depending on your details and the doctor's availability.
More Than Sick Leave
If you only need proof for days off, the sick leave page is quicker to use. This page covers the other certificates people in the city ask for: fitness certificates for a new job, caretaker certificates for looking after a patient, and certificates for students and visitors.
Caring for a Patient at RCC or the Medical College
The Regional Cancer Centre, the Medical College hospital and Sree Chitra treat patients from all over Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Treatment can run for weeks, and family members take leave to stay with them. A caretaker certificate covers that leave. Upload admission or treatment papers so the doctor can see the dates.
Fitness Certificates for New Jobs
Technopark companies, hospitals, schools and shops often ask new joiners for a fitness certificate. The doctor reviews your health history and may call you. If they need a test or an in-person check first, they'll tell you.
Technopark and Office Work
IT staff at Technopark and Taurus Downtown often work late shifts and long hours at screens. If your HR asks for a certificate after illness, ask what format they need. Many accept a PDF by email.
Fishing Villages and the New Port
Fishing families in Vizhinjam, Poovar, Poonthura and Anchuthengu face rough seas in the monsoon and injuries on boats. Work around the new Vizhinjam port has also brought more construction jobs. Any injury should be seen in person. For a fever or infection, you can apply online.
A Caregiver's Request
A shop manager from Kollam takes two weeks off to stay with her mother during radiation treatment at RCC. Her employer wants a certificate. She applies for a caretaker certificate and uploads the treatment schedule. The doctor reviews the papers and issues a caretaker certificate for the period they consider appropriate.

- Any reports or hospital papers

Leptospirosis After Floods
Waterlogged roads and fields in the monsoon spread leptospirosis. A fever with muscle pain, red eyes or yellowing after wading through water needs a doctor in person straight away.
If a Certificate Isn't Possible
The doctor only certifies what your symptoms justify. They'll explain why. If you're getting worse, see a doctor at the Medical College or a clinic.

Working in the Gulf
Many families in the district have someone working in the Gulf. If you fall ill while home on leave and can't fly back on time, apply before your leave ends and message your employer. Gulf employers may need the certificate attested, so ask first.
Students
The university, engineering colleges and medical college each set their own rules for missed classes and exams. Ask your department what they accept before applying.
Attukal Pongala
During Attukal Pongala, lakhs of women cook offerings on the city's streets in heat and smoke. Burns, heat exhaustion and breathing trouble are common. Burns need an in-person check.
