Your Quick Guide to Health Screening Packages

In the fast-paced world we live in, prioritizing health often takes a backseat to our hectic schedules. Enter health screening packages – a proactive approach to understanding and safeguarding your well-being.

In the modern world, maintaining good health, especially through medical tests and cardiovascular screening, is more important than ever. Health screening, including diagnostic tests, is a proactive approach for patients of all ages to stay on top of their health and identify potential issues before they become serious problems.

What is Health Screening?

Health screening involves a series of tests and examinations aimed at detecting diseases or conditions in their early stages. Regular health screenings are essential because they help identify health issues that may not yet present any symptoms. By catching problems early through screening tests, diagnostic tests, and considering age, individuals can receive timely treatment and improve their chances of better health outcomes.

Importance of Regular Health Screenings

Regular health screenings are crucial for the early detection of conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and cancer. These health screenings can reveal risk factors through diagnostic tests and prompt lifestyle changes that can prevent the onset of diseases. Regular check-ups ensure that you stay informed about your health status, screen for any potential issues, and can make necessary adjustments to maintain or improve your well-being.

Why Health Screening Matters

Preventive Power

Health screenings are the cornerstone of preventive healthcare. They provide a proactive means to identify potential health issues before symptoms manifest, allowing for early intervention and improved treatment outcomes.

Personalized Insights

Every individual is unique, and so are their health needs. Health screening packages offer personalized insights into your specific health profile, enabling healthcare professionals to tailor recommendations and interventions to your unique requirements.

Types of Health Screening Packages

Basic Health Screening Packages

Basic health screening packages typically include essential tests such as blood pressure measurement, cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, liver function tests, kidney function tests, thyroid function tests, complete blood count and a general physical examination. These packages are ideal for individuals who want a routine check-up to screen and test their general health.

Comprehensive Health Screening Packages

Comprehensive health screening packages offer a more detailed assessment of your health. They include a broader range of tests, such as Apo-lipoprotein tests, hepatitis tests, tumour markers tests, stool analysis, and more advanced imaging tests like ultrasounds or X-rays. These packages are suitable for those who want an in-depth evaluation of their health status through tests and screenings.

Specialized Health Screening Packages

Specialized health screening packages cater to specific age groups or health concerns. For example, there are packages designed for women's health, men's health, and senior citizens. These packages often include health checks, such as breast cancer screenings for women or colonoscopy for men. Additionally, there are packages focused on particular health concerns like heart health or cancer screening.

Elements of a Comprehensive Health Screening Package

Blood Tests

Blood tests are a cornerstone of health screenings, providing insights into cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and overall organ function. These tests are crucial for detecting conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and liver issues.

Imaging Studies

From X-rays to MRIs, imaging studies help visualize the internal structures of your body. These can identify issues such as tumors, joint problems, and abnormalities in vital organs.

Cardiovascular Assessments

Cardiovascular health is paramount. Screening packages often include tests like ECGs and stress tests to assess heart function and identify potential cardiovascular risks.

Cancer Screenings

Early detection is key in cancer treatment. Health screening packages frequently include screenings for common cancers such as breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers.

Health Risk Assessments

Health screenings often involve questionnaires to assess your lifestyle choices, family history, and other factors contributing to your overall health risks. This holistic approach aids in creating a comprehensive health profile.

Physical Examinations

A thorough physical examination is a crucial component of any health screening. During this exam, a healthcare provider will screen your vital signs, such as blood pressure and heart rate, and perform a general assessment of your physical condition.

Lifestyle Assessments

Lifestyle assessments screen and health check factors such as diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption. Understanding these aspects of your lifestyle can help identify areas where changes may be needed to improve your overall health.

Choosing the Right Health Screening Package

When choosing a health screening package, consider your age, gender, family history, and lifestyle. These factors can influence the types of tests, such as screening, that are most relevant to your health.
It’s essential to screen and assess your health needs based on any existing conditions or risk factors. Consulting with a healthcare professional can help you determine which tests are necessary and which package best suits your needs.

Health Screening General FAQs

The aim of health screening is to detect any early disease in a generally-well person, so as to commence early treatment and maintain good control of the disease,  that will ultimately reduce the risk of serious complications from the disease. It is therefore important to get yourself screened even if you feel perfectly healthy. Health screening is as simple as taking your BMI (Body Mass Index), home blood pressure reading to see if you are at risk of metabolic syndrome, for example, and it need not be cumbersome or complicated. Health screening can be categorized into functional (organ-specific) screening, cardiovascular screening and cancer screening. Your health screening needs depend on factors such as age, personal medical history, family history, as well as personal goals and preferences.  Although our health screening packages are designed to cover most aspects of health, deciding which test to undergo requires a shared and informed decision-making process, as not all tests are relevant for you. Health-screening testing doesn’t always follow “the more the merrier”. Therefore, we would highly recommend our complimentary pre-screening consultation with our doctors to discuss which screening tests are most appropriate.  Our Health Screening comes with a personalised health report, detailed recommendations and goal-setting, this will be covered during our post-screening consultation. Book an appointment online or simply call or Whatsapp us to find out more.
In general, only “Fasting Glucose” and “Lipid Screen” require fasting of at least 8 hours before the test – do not omit essential chronic medications – you may take with sips of plain water. Non-fasting Diabetes and Lipid Screen are also available if you prefer, speak with our doctor to find out more. If you are unwell, it’s best to postpone the health screening until you are better.
We do not recommend repeating tests if they were done recently. Share with us your latest medical report and allow us to reconcile your past tests and make recommendations.

Our health screening package starts from $85 nett (no GST) for our Love (VM01) package, which is a good package for a general health screen which can be done yearly. Add-on blood tests and/or imaging tests are available with prices stated (Refer to table above). All our pricing are transparent and will be made known to you before we process the fees. There is no additional doctor’s consultation fees for our health screening packages.

Health screening is essentially for the well patients to detect any early diseases so that interventions can be made to alter the course of the disease and reduce complications or morbidity from disease progression.

Screening is for the well patient without any symptoms and should be done periodically based on risk stratification. Diagnosis is when a patient presents with symptoms, and after undergoing physical examination, laboratory or other tests, imaging tests, the diagnosis or a few diagnoses may be made to explain the symptomatology of the patient.

Health screening can detect early disease so that interventions can be timely to retard or even reverse diseases. Apart from early detection of disease, health screening can encourage healthy lifestyles and increase healthy longevity and number of years in good health in the long run. Health screening can also detect inherited diseases among family members. Health screening usually encompasses a discussion on vaccinations as part of preventive health.

Health screening can pick up early cardiovascular diseases such as pre-diabetes, stage 1 hypertension or borderline hyperlipidemia so that pharmacological and lifestyle interventions can be made to reverse the course of the disease. Age and risk-appropriate cancer screening can help detect cancer in the early stages so as to improve outcome or increase the chances of curative treatment.

Diseases can be characterized into chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, obesity, gout and malignant disease such as solid organ or blood cancers. For cancers, age and risk appropriate screening tools such as mammogram, CT low dose lung screen, pap smear, certain blood or stool test, screening colonoscopy can help pick up early cancer. Mental health conditions can also be screened through the use of questionnaires and history taking.

STD Screening FAQs

Our doctor will first spend time to understand your needs and concerns, performing targeted physical examinations. A finger prick test for rapid HIV can screen for HIV as early as 2 weeks after exposure. In addition, blood tests and urine samples are usually collected, if necessary a urethral or a high-vaginal swab is conducted by our doctor.

There is no need for any preparations! No fasting is required for the blood, just book an appointment to see our doctor and any tests may be conducted on-the-spot.

All STDs can be detected through blood tests, urine tests and/or urethral/ vaginal swab tests. However, there is a ‘window period’ for HIV tests – our latest 4th generation HIV rapid test will be able to detect HIV as early as 2 weeks after exposure, and will pick up 99% of HIV infection at six weeks, as such a repeat test 6 weeks after exposure is highly recommended.

Yes our urine tests will be able to detect the following STDs: Chlamydia Trachomatis, Neisseria Gonorrhoeae, Mycoplasma Genitalium, Mycoplasma Hominis, Trichomonas Vaginalis, Ureaplasma Parvum, Ureaplasma Urealyticum.

STD tests generally have a high sensitivity and specificity (>90%), however no tests are perfect. Accuracy also depends on the timeline of exposure and symptomatology. As such our doctor will advise if repeat or interval testing is required for occasional instances.

All STDs are curable (meaning a complete eradication of the pathogen) with our modern arsenal of medications, except for HIV. However with major advancement in HIV drug therapy, HIV has become a chronic well manageable disease, and a treated person with HIV is expected to have similar life expectancy as someone without.

Most time will be spent during the consultation with our doctor, to deeply understand your medical needs and concerns and address any questions that you may have. The actual finger prick rapid test for HIV, blood draw, urethral and/or vaginal swabs will be swiftly and comfortably conducted with our experienced doctors.

Our STD blood tests detect HIV Antigen/ Antibody (rapid finger prick test), HIV (antibody – ‘traditional’ blood draw), Syphilis, Herpes Simplex Type 1 & 2 and Hepatitis B & C.
