About this statute
People entering Belgian Congo or Ruanda-Urundi for more than six months must carry a medical certificate showing they are free of contagious disease symptoms, mental illness, or epilepsy, unless they fall within listed exemptions. A medical certificate for Article 1 is valid only for three months and must be made in the prescribed form by a doctor in medicine or licensed doctor. Something is only valid if it is issued by an authorised doctor, and the article defines who counts as an authorised doctor and which diseases are treated as communicable. If a person required to produce the medical certificate fails to do so, they can be sent for a medical examination. The Governor General may require immigrants to receive additional vaccinations, if proposed by the medical authority.
