What is Health Screening?
Health screening is a good way to identify a specific condition or diagnose a disease early, when no apparent symptoms are detected. Early detection can give you the opportunity to get the right treatment at the right time, which is beneficial for long-term quality of life. This also reduces the risks of getting complications in the future.
Oftentimes, we assume that when a person is not sick, then he or she does not have any diseases. But this is not always the case and many underlying diseases take years before the illnesses or symptoms can surface. Therefore, early detection is the best prevention you can get.
How It Works
Our affiliated medical center provides several tests you can choose from:
· Specialist consultation: Get a comprehensive expert view on your health status, lifestyle changes and treatments you should get to improve your quality of life.
· Comprehensive blood test: A test that can evaluate how well your organs are functioning and diagnose diseases such as cancer, HIV, diabetes, anemia and others.
· X-ray: This is done per area. Depending on your conditions and wishes, the doctor may suggest you to get a single or double view. X-ray can also help to examine an area where you are experiencing pain, monitor progression of a diagnosed disease such as osteoporosis, and check how well your current treatment is working.
