Hope you all going well with your documentation on Post ITA and Congrats to all who got ITA yesterday.
I had my medicals yesterday, just thought of sharing my experience.
first of all thanks to
@anwar01 for giving a brief intro about the medicals.
It went all fine. I am from south India and we have 4 locations where CIC approved hospitals available.
1: Hyderabad
2: Bangalore - 2 locations
3: Kerala Trivandrum - Kims hospital.
I took my upfront medical test from Fortis Hospital at Bangalore on 4th Oct.
Locations in Hyderabad and Kerala is too busy to get an appointment. I had seen many applicants from these locations came down to Bangalore for their medical tests.
My experience @ Fortis:
Preparations:
I took prior appointment 1 week before my expected date of ITA.
Need the copies of passport of all applicants including my baby.
Need 2 photos each for all applicants including baby.
Have your original passport available and doctor may ask to verify those.
Fill the forms given from the Helpdesk at the hospital, and inform the staff that its upfront medical test.
Give the samples in the lab and then they will proceed you to the Radiology department for the x-rays.
You have to visit the nursing station at Pediatrics department to measure your baby's height, weight and head circumference.
If your baby is less than 1 year old, they don't take the x-ray only doctor consultation and if required doctor will suggest for the blood test.
Make sure you carry the vaccination card/report of the baby when you go.
Later, you are requested to visit doctor soon after some time after entering all above taken values in the attached sheet.
Make sure your doctor signed the document.
Once this all completed the health check help-desk will give you an acknowledgement with barcoded UMI number.
Make sure the data available are correct as per your passport:
Details such as,
Passport number
Names given as per the passport (Correct the spellings there itself if there is a mis match with your original passport.)
Passport issue and expiry date.
They will click a photo on a cam to upload it with the results. Once this all completed you are good to leave..
Hope this will help our other members who are going for medical soon.
All the best..
