Health screenings

Getting screened is one of the most important things you can do for your health





Health screenings enable you to find out if you have a particular disease or condition even if you do not have any symptoms and/or signs of disease. Early detection, followed by treatment and good control of the condition can result in better outcomes and lowers the risk of serious complications. It is therefore important to get yourself screened even if you feel perfectly healthy.


What is a health screening?

Health screenings are important to everyone. It involves the use of tests, physical examinations or other procedures to detect disease early in people who look or feel well. This is different from diagnostic tests which are done when someone is already showing signs and/or symptoms of a disease. Screenings help find diseases early, when they may be easier to treat.


Why should I go for one?

Mentioned above, health screenings help you find out if you have a particular disease or condition even if you feel perfectly well. Early detection is key and lowers the risk of serious complications. It's important to get yourself screened even if you feel perfectly healthy.


What kind of screening tests should I go for?

It is best to speak to your doctor who will advise you to go for the relevant screening tests based on your individual health profile.

These tests can look for:

  • Diabetes
  • Certain types of cancer
  • High blood pressure or high cholesterol
  • Osteoporosis (weak bones)
  • Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)
  • Hearing vision loss

What about cost?

Depending on your insurance plan, you may be able to get screening tests at no cost to you.
