Official medical examination in case of adoption / foster parenthood

Before adopting or taking on foster parenthood, a health fitness examination is required, which you can have carried out at the Fachdienst Gesundheit if you are resident in Jena. Alternatively, the examination can also be carried out by the attending family doctor. The examination serves in particular to exclude communicable diseases, life-shortening illnesses as well as disorders that could limit the ability to raise the child. The examination includes a physical examination, a medical and family history and a visual and hearing test. Approximately one hour should be allowed for this. An appointment is necessary.
