A Health Certificate is an official document that verifies the health status of an individual or an animal. It is often required for travel, employment, or the sale of pets. The certificate typically includes information about vaccinations, medical examinations, and any relevant health conditions. These certificates are issued by licensed medical professionals or veterinarians and must meet specific regulations set by health authorities. They serve to ensure that individuals or animals are free from contagious diseases and are fit for their intended purpose, such as entering a new country or participating in public events.
