Morphology
The meaning 'an official document detailing medical examination results' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'medical' (relating to medicine) with 'report' (a formal account). This adjective + noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows basic English phrase formation, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Medical report comes from doctors writing a report about a patient's medical condition. Imagine a doctor writing test results and notes on a piece of paper and giving it to the patient or another professional, so it means 'an official document showing the results of a medical examination'.
