Can I apply for a health certificate directly without making an appointment?

Legal analysis: Every hospital has different rules and regulations. Whether to make an appointment depends on the hospital's own conditions and the information released by the hospital shall prevail. Note: Hospitals in big cities, such as Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Beijing, basically need to make an appointment.

Legal basis: Article 34 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Food Safety Law shall establish and implement the health management system for employees. Persons suffering from digestive tract infectious diseases such as dysentery, typhoid fever and viral hepatitis, as well as those suffering from diseases that hinder food safety such as active tuberculosis, suppurative or exudative skin diseases, shall not engage in direct contact with imported food. Food production and marketing personnel shall carry out health examination every year and obtain health certificates before taking part in the work.
