Questions about this service
Can documents be issued in another language or translated?
The consultation language and the document language are separate matters. Documents are normally issued in Portuguese; current public information provides English for a generic Fit to Fly statement and review of English forms brought to the doctor.
Certified translation is separate from medical issue and is not automatically included. Certification requirements and acceptance depend on the receiving organisation; provide the specific form and instructions before the assessment.
Fit to Fly: do I need MEDIF and does the document guarantee boarding?
Forms and requirements depend on the airline and the specific request. Prepare the airline name, travel date and any instructions or MEDIF requested from you.
The medical assessment and transport decision are separate. Relevant clinical evidence, such as recovery or discharge information, may be needed. A statement does not guarantee boarding or automatically replace the airline's own form.
Can additional tests be requested after I have paid?
Yes. The doctor may request clinically relevant evidence for a properly informed decision, such as another professional's report, optometry, diagnostic tests or updated blood tests.
The request must be proportionate and relevant to the assessment; it does not mean every patient needs the same tests. An immediate decision may not be possible. Do not assume that third-party tests are included in the consultation price.
Does an appointment guarantee a certificate or prescription?
No. The consultation is a medical assessment. Issue depends on the available information, necessary documents and requirements for the intended purpose.
The doctor may issue a document, request further evidence or decide that issue is not justified. The same applies to prescriptions: payment does not oblige the doctor to prescribe a specific medicine or guarantee fitness.
