FAQ

The lifestyle and stresses of modern living or family medical history can have an adverse impact on your health by predisposing you to silent killers such as heart disease, diabetes, hypertension and cancers. Health screenings help you find out if you have a particular disease or condition even if you feel perfectly well, without any symptoms and/or signs of disease. Early detection, followed by prompt treatment can delay the onset of complications and results in better long term outcomes.

This is a personal decision based on your risk factors and previous screening results. Generally we recommend screening once every two years for those aged 40 and below, yearly screening for those aged 40 and above. For those aged 50 years and above, screening should be biannually.

You can receive your report within as little as 1 day to 3 weeks, depending on the complexity of the tests. We ensure the utmost confidentiality throughout the process.

If your screening results are normal, you should continue to go for regular screening at the recommended frequency because screening only detects health conditions that are present at the time of screening. If you develop signs or symptoms after your screening, please see your doctor – do not wait for your next screening appointment.

Results are seen instantly after the treatment, and will gradually improve over the course of the following 2–4 weeks. Normally, results can last between 9–18 months and can be maintained over a long period of time through regular repeated treatments.
