* IMPORTANT : If you are taking medication for Diabetes, DO NOT take your medicines while you are fasting. - If possible, please bring a small amount of your fresh stool in a stool container. The stool container is available at the In-House Clinic.
- For ladies undergoing a Pelvis Ultrasound examination, do not empty the bladder until the examination is completed.
- For Treadmill test, you may wish to bring along your own ‘T’ shirt, shorts, socks, track shoes and a hand towel.
Objectives
The Comprehensive Executive Health Screening Programmes at our clinics are designed to:
- give you an assessment of how your body is coping with the stress of modern living.
- pick up and if necessary investigate further, any signs of disease of any particular organ system.
- advise you on changes in lifestyles and on dietary habit should this be necessary
Procedure
The Executive Health Screening begins with a complete history taking and thorough physical examination by our doctor. You will then have a series of blood, urine, stool tests and chest X-ray and abdomen X-ray. For ladies, a PAP Smear test is optional, you will then have an exercise Electrocardiogram (ECG) or Treadmill conducted by our Consultant Cardiologist. All these will usually take about 2 to 3 hours. A week later, your medical report with the doctor’s assessment of the overall interpretation of results will be ready. This includes recommendations, counselling with respect to choice of diet; changes of lifestyle and if necessary, appropriate medical treatment.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I UNDERGO THIS PROGRAMME?
Good health is important for everyone and it would be wise to have regular checkups annually
