MY MEDICAL CHECK UP EXPERIENCE

In Indonesia when I do a medical check-up as one of the visa

requirement for entering Taiwan, I chose one that I think the

location of the clinic closest to where I live. At that time my

condition was ve months pregnancy and according to the

procedure medical check-up, its required to conduct blood tests,

physical tests height, weight, blood pressure, eye tests!, urine

tests, "-ray, and #ubella vaccine mandatory. This all is the

standard applied by the government of Taiwan when making visa.

$ue to my ignorance, I went through all the procedures, but

before I was always told the sta% that was in a state of pregnancy,

so I do "-#ay and then in the #ubella vaccine. &hen return from a

medical check-up I tried browsing about relation my pregnancy

sate with the in'ection of rubella vaccine and perform "-ray test.

(omewhat surprising I found out the fact that the vaccine and the

)-ray tast in a state of pregnancy is very fatal consequences for

the fetus in the uterus. After the results of the medical check-up

come, its turn out theres written in the result paper that to the

mothers who are pregnant are not required to conduct

vaccine and x-ray, and it can be done after the baby is

born.

In Taiwan , universities required international students to conduct

medical checkup at the designated hospitals namely *+

hospital . n the specied date , I do medcek . /ospital sta% who

knew I was pregnant with my circumstances to quickly inform the

hospital and tell me that pregnant women are not obliged to
