The analysis of 1100 health certificates (Form 086/y) received by the selection committee of the Institute of Automated Systems and Radioelectronics showed that only 7.76% of them met the requirements. The rest of health certificates had the following faults: incompetence when determining physical fitness, insufficient data, diagnostic errors, inadequate drawing up of medical documents. It is concluded that such health certificates do not possess complete data on applicants' health status, thus continuity of medical care being distorted. It is proposed to re-establish the point on PT lessons at school in the new form of the health certificate.
