- Required for some job sectors (e.g., GDL/PSV license renewal)
- Complies with DOSH/NIOSH medical surveillance guidelines
👨⚕️ Who Should Get Tested?
- Individuals with chronic cough, wheezing, or shortness of breath
- Smokers or ex-smokers
- Workers exposed to dust, fumes, or chemicals
- Patients with known lung conditions
- Those undergoing pre-employment check-ups or annual health surveillance
🧪 What’s Included in the Test?
