medical abstract (ceasarian section)

good day, i would just like to ask is it true that if you undergo any operation in the past you have to submit a medical abstract during your medical examination? Does that include ceasarian section? TIA

Unless this is a Philipines specific thing, no. I had a c-section 4 months before my medical and all the doctor did was look at the scar and mention how well it had healed.

What's a medical abstract?

Anyway, requirements for medical exam are here: http://www.slec.ph/us-visa-applicants.shtml

I think you don't need a detailed medical certificate for your caesarean section (operation). In the SLEC site it specifically states there "previously-treated or currently managed clinically significant illness".

From Wikipedia, "A Caesarean is a surgical procedure in which one or more incisions are made through the mother's abdomen and uterus to deliver one or more babies........... CS is only performed when a vaginal delivery would put the baby's or mother's life or health at risk."

Since your CS is not to treat an illness, therefore you don't need a medical certificate for your medical examination in SLEC.
