What it is and who needs it
The sanitary-epidemiological examination confirms you can safely work in contact with food or with other people. It is required for cooks, waiters, baristas, shop assistants, food couriers, nannies, teachers and healthcare support staff, among others.
The process has two parts: a laboratory stool test (three samples on three consecutive days, tested for Salmonella and Shigella) and a certificate (orzeczenie) issued by a physician based on the results.
How it works
You can complete the whole path without visiting a public sanitary station.
- Order online and pay (card, BLIK, Apple Pay).
- Collect the sample kit at a partner laboratory near you and hand in 3 samples.
- Results go straight to our physician.
- You receive the certificate (orzeczenie) by e-mail - usually the day after the results arrive.
Price
The laboratory stool test costs 100-258 zł depending on the city and lab; the online medical certificate is 149 zł. Everything is priced transparently before you pay.
