Medyo nalito lang po ako sa validity na nakalagay sa website on medical specially dun sa 6 months kapag may health undertaking.
_"The results of your health assessment are valid for 12 months from the time you completed your examinations. If we ask you to sign a health undertaking, this will be valid for 6 months." _
December 5 - Medical in St. Lukes
December 12 - Received request from Bupa for additional test on my husband. Ako and si baby is clear.
January - Sputum Collection
March - (1) Result of Sputum (2) repeat xray done
March 29 - Health Clearance Provided to my husband
May 1 - Received S56 request for health undertaking form
May 7 - Submitted health undertaking
Considering the timeline po, san po ba magsastart ung counting ng 6 months validity for my husband's medical? Appreciate your inputs po. Thank you sa mga sasagot!
