medical exam in south africa

[mishka b 0]

i was wondering if anyone had any advice on what the medical exam entails? this is the scariest part of the whole process for me because i'm terrified of needles! i wanted to know if my yellow card would be enough proof of my vaccinations? it has dates and which vaccines were administered, but doesn't say at which institution. it has no official stamps or anything that would authenticate it. i'm dreading having to have them all again if that's the case!

i also read that they do a visual check for any STD's - and was wondering how invasive this might be? also, could anyone tell me how much we can expect to pay for the whole thing? any info would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry I can't offer specific advice since we're going through London. Have you tried posting in the region specific folder? You should get a good answer there.
