Hello future corpers! If you’re preparing for NYSC camp, you must have heard about the “medical report” or “fitness certificate”. Don’t worry, I’ll explain everything in simple terms just like your big brother or sister would. This paper is very important for your NYSC journey – no medical report, no camp admission! 
What is NYSC Medical Report?
This is a special doctor’s report that shows you’re healthy enough for NYSC activities (NYSC Active Whatsapp Group For All States In Nigeria). It’s like a health passport for camp. The NYSC officials will collect it during registration at the orientation camp.
NYSC Medical Check-Up Explained
When you go to the hospital for your NYSC medical report, doctors will check:
- Your blood pressure and heart
- Your eyes and ears
- Your urine and blood (for infections like HIV)
- Your chest (for tuberculosis)
- Your general body strength
This helps NYSC know if you can handle camp (NYSC Remobilisation: What You Need to Know if You Left Camp Early) activities and your place of primary assignment.
How to Get Your Medical Fitness Certificate
Follow these simple steps:
- Go to a government hospital: Private hospitals are not allowed! Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) or General Hospitals are good.
- Request for “NYSC medical fitness test”: Tell them you need it for NYSC
- Carry necessary items: 2 passport photos, your call-up letter, (NYSC Call-Up Number vs Call-Up Letter: What’s The Difference) and money (about ₦5,000-₦10,000)
- Collect your report same day: Most hospitals give it immediately after tests

Ensure your report has these things:
- Hospital letterhead and stamp
- Doctor’s signature and license number

If you have serious health issues (like asthma or sickle cell), the doctor will write “Not fit for hard labor” or recommend redeployment.
