strongly advised to exercise extreme caution before issuing a sick-leave certificate. Members are advised to check photo ID of the patient regarding their
authenticity, and factors such as eligibility of the patient and duration of sick leave must be carefully considered.

Failure to view a deceased body by a medical practitioner, before issuing an official death certificate is in direct contravention of the Medical Board Act.

exact cause of death.
