There is a little bit of controversy in my head about this subject matter.

It all started when people began sharing this message:

ON THE CERTIFICATE OF MEDICAL FITNESS

Having been informed that all PCMs are to compulsorily present the Certificate of Medical Fitness as one of the requirements for entry into the Camp, the following are the tests that each PCM is expected to undergo in a General or Military Hospitals only:

1. HIV
2. Genotype
3. Blood group
4. HBsaG
5. PCV
6. HCV
7. Urinalysis

Also, it is expected that the REGISTRATION NUMBER and PHONE NUMBER of the doctor in charge of the test must appear on the certificate for verification. This was made known by an NYSC official during the question and answer session held on twitter few days ago.

kindly take note of this and share with friends and concerned PCMs.

Thank you.

One funny thing about the message above is HIV testing, what has HIV got to do with fitness? If it is certificate of fitness.

Shouldn't fitness be about how well one is to handle all the physical activities in camp?

Going by this verified image of what the nysc official on Twitter said:

The certificate is only about fitness.

If anybody has a screenshot just like the one above where an nysc official listed those test you can post it here too. Let us clear the air. Thank you.
