Medical Check-Up Programmes

Choose a clear starting point, then let a physician tailor the tests to your age, sex, symptoms, family history and previous screening. The goal is a useful health plan—not the longest test list.

Clinician-led

A medical history and examination shape the programme.

Itemised scope

Every included test should appear in your written quotation.

Follow-up included

Results need interpretation and a clear next-step plan.

Start with the person, not the package

A check-up should answer a health question.

Screening is intended for people without symptoms. New or concerning symptoms need a diagnostic appointment, which may require a different pathway. Before booking, a coordinator collects your age, medical history, medicines, family history, previous screening and current concerns for physician review.

Packages below are brand-neutral planning frameworks created from the supplied 2026 programme documents. Partner hospitals may use different names or test combinations. Your final scope must be confirmed in writing.

Compare programmes

Seven useful starting points.

Open each package to inspect its likely scope. Tests that involve radiation, sedation, contrast, invasive procedures or genetic consequences require separate clinical approval and consent.

01
Core adult assessment

General Standard Check-Up

A focused baseline programme for adults who want a physician-led review of common cardiovascular, metabolic, liver, kidney and thyroid risk indicators.

View scope
Consultations

Internal medicine and dental examination

Imaging & heart

Chest X-ray, whole-abdomen ultrasound and resting ECG

Laboratory

Complete blood count, fasting glucose, total/HDL/LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, creatinine, AST, ALT, TSH, uric acid, HBsAg and urinalysis

02
Under 40, 40+ and comprehensive options

Women’s Check-Up Programmes

Programmes combine general health review with women’s health screening. The appropriate imaging and cervical screening method depend on age, previous results, symptoms and risk.

View scope
Consultations

Internal medicine, gynaecology and cardiology; dental, ophthalmology or general-surgery review in selected tiers

Women’s health

Pap smear or liquid-based cervical cytology, breast ultrasound and age-appropriate mammography when clinically indicated

Broader assessment

ECG, selected echocardiography or exercise testing, abdominal and thyroid ultrasound, bone-density assessment when appropriate

Laboratory

Blood count, glucose/HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney function, thyroid, iron/ferritin, vitamins and urine testing; infection tests according to history and consent

03
Under 40, 40+ and comprehensive options

Men’s Check-Up Programmes

Age- and risk-adjusted packages combine general medical review with cardiovascular and urological assessment. PSA testing is discussed rather than applied automatically.

View scope
Consultations

Internal medicine and cardiology; dental, urology, ophthalmology or general-surgery review in selected tiers

Imaging & heart

Chest X-ray, abdominal and thyroid ultrasound, ECG, selected echocardiography and treadmill testing

Men’s health

Urological assessment and shared decision-making about total or free PSA where age, symptoms and risk make it relevant

Laboratory

Blood count, glucose/HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney function, thyroid, iron/ferritin, vitamins and urine or stool testing

04
Increasing diagnostic scope

Essential, Advanced & Premium Check-Up

Three levels allow the clinical team to build from core preventive testing to specialist examinations and selected imaging or endoscopy. More tests are not automatically better.

View scope
Essential

Core medical examinations, cardiovascular testing, abdominal and age-appropriate imaging, routine laboratory work and a results consultation

Advanced

Adds selected specialist reviews, expanded ultrasound or CT/MRI, echocardiography and broader laboratory testing where justified

Premium

May add gastroenterology assessment, upper endoscopy or colonoscopy, biopsy and extended imaging only after indication, preparation and consent are confirmed

05
Heart and vascular risk review

Cardiology Check-Up

Designed for people with relevant age, symptoms, family history or cardiovascular risk factors. The cardiologist decides whether advanced imaging adds value.

View scope
Consultations

Internal medicine and cardiology examination

Testing

Resting ECG, echocardiography and exercise treadmill test

Selected imaging

Chest X-ray and coronary CT angiography only with physician approval

Laboratory

Glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, blood count, lipid profile, creatinine, CRP, AST/ALT, triglycerides, TSH and urinalysis

06
Basic and detailed child health options

Paediatric Check-Up

A child-focused review coordinated by a paediatrician. Testing should follow age, growth, symptoms, vaccination history and the clinician’s examination.

View scope
Basic

Paediatric, ophthalmology, ENT and dental examinations; tympanometry; CRP, ESR, iron studies, ferritin, blood count, stool parasite test and urinalysis

Detailed

Adds whole-abdomen ultrasound, chest X-ray and any further testing the paediatrician considers appropriate

07
Age-, sex- and risk-based

Cancer Screening & Hereditary Risk Review

Cancer screening is not one universal panel. Evidence-based screening, family history and genetic counselling should determine the programme—not the largest possible test list.

View scope
Established screening pathways

Age- and risk-appropriate breast, cervical, colorectal and lung screening; prostate screening follows informed discussion

Hereditary risk

Genetic consultation and targeted hereditary-cancer panel when personal or family history supports testing

Clinician-selected tests

Dermatoscopy, ultrasound, CT, MRI, endoscopy or colonoscopy only when the expected benefit justifies radiation, sedation and follow-up risk

Important limitation

Tumour markers such as AFP, CA 125, CA 15-3, CA 19-9 and CEA are not a stand-alone cancer screen for healthy adults and may produce misleading results

Your check-up journey

From medical history to an actionable report.

  1. 1
    Pre-assessment

    Share your history, medicines, previous results and screening dates securely.

  2. 2
    Programme confirmation

    A clinician adjusts the package and explains fasting, medication and procedure preparation.

  3. 3
    Coordinated testing

    Most core programmes take one day; advanced or invasive programmes may require longer.

  4. 4
    Results consultation

    A doctor explains significant findings, limitations and recommended next steps.

  5. 5
    Records for home

    Receive an English-language summary and shareable results for your usual clinician.

Optional modules

Add only what your history supports.

Optional tests can add cost, incidental findings and follow-up. They should be chosen for a reason and interpreted by the relevant clinician.

Before you travel

Preparation checklist

Fasting

Ask whether fasting is required and for how long. Water and regular medicines must follow written instructions.

Previous records

Bring recent scans, laboratory reports, pathology, vaccination records and a list of medicines and allergies.

Family history

Note close relatives’ diagnoses and ages at diagnosis, especially cancer and early cardiovascular disease.

Pregnancy

Tell the team if pregnancy is possible before any X-ray, CT, mammography, medicine, sedation or invasive procedure.

Symptoms

Report symptoms before choosing a screening package; they may require direct diagnostic assessment.

Written inclusions

Confirm consultations, tests, sedation, pathology, translations, repeat visits and any possible additional charges.

More testing can also cause harm.

False positives, incidental findings, radiation, procedure complications and unnecessary follow-up are real possibilities. Whole-body imaging, routine tumour-marker panels, broad genetic testing, endoscopy and coronary CT are not automatic requirements for a healthy adult. Ask why a test is recommended and how an abnormal result will be managed.
