Aviation Medical Examinations

In all aviation-related professions, a medical examination report/certificate obtained from the Aviation Medical Center Board of a DGCA-approved hospital after examinations carried out in accordance with the legislation is required in order to receive, start and continue the training of the profession as required by law.

Our hospital was authorized by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) indefinitely in 2017. All examinations are carried out in accordance with the regulations of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), European Directorate General of Civil Aviation (EASA), and International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
