Dutch term or phrase: op medische indicatie
What's the best way to phrase this? Something with "doctor's certificate"? Government report concerning measures to help disabled people use public transport.

Daar waar de reiziger nog niet zelfstandig gebruik kan maken van het spoorvervoer wordt op een groot aantal stations assistentieverlening verleend. Bovendien kunnen mensen met een functiebeperking ***op medische indicatie*** gratis een begeleider meenemen.

agree  Marijke Singer: Or: by medical referral

  -> Dank!
neutral  Tina Vonhof: I think 'on medical grounds' is not quite enough. Surely they will require some note or certificate before they provide a helper free of charge.
6 hrs
  -> Of course. The certificate can be obtained through the social service of any city/town/village, upon presentation of a medical certificate.

neutral  Toiny Van der Putte-Rademakers: "Op medische indicatie" is not the same as certified by a doctor. I think "medically certified" does not fit the context here, but I am not entirely sure.
5 hrs
  -> Then who would assess the "medical grounds"? I would suggest: a doctor! And how would you evidence this: a certificate! Quite simple really when you think about it. Oh, and by the way: wht "disagree" when you're not sure?!
agree  Tina Vonhof: How about: 'based on a doctor's certificate' - think this refers to the "gratis begeleider", not to the disability.
6 hrs
  -> Thanks Tina - I think that would work very well! :-)
agree  Neil Cross: Yes, I'm pretty sure a "cert" would have to be produced at some point :-)
6 hrs
  -> That's a "cert" then! Thanks, Neil! :-)
