Health screening

A health screening is a preventative health assessment designed to provide an overview of your current health and identify potential health risks before symptoms develop. It can help you better understand your health and make informed decisions about your wellbeing.

Health screenings can help you:

• Gain a better understanding of your overall health
• Identify potential health risks early
• Monitor key health indicators such as blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose
• Support healthier lifestyle choices
• Establish a baseline for future health monitoring
• Gain peace of mind about your health
• Many common health conditions develop gradually and may not cause symptoms in their early stages. Regular health screening can help identify concerns sooner.

No. Health screenings are designed for people who may not have any symptoms but want to proactively monitor their health and wellbeing.
