All children under the age of eighteen benefit from preventive health and social measures, including compulsory examinations.
The number and content of these examinations, the age at which they must be carried out and the determination of those which give rise to a health certificate are laid down by regulation.
The content of health certificates, and in particular the list of illnesses or deficiencies that must be mentioned in them, is established by order of the ministers responsible for health and social security.
