SSM to start issuing e-medical certificate from today

The Health Bureau (SSM) announced that it will roll out digital medical certificates from today. Patients and their guardians may apply for and download the certificate on their accounts on the government One Account app. For the time being, only certificates issued by the government hospital and health centers will be available for application and download. Similar to other government e-documents, the e-medical certificates will come with a QR code for verification purposes.
