Regular checks are recommended to ensure that you are in the best state of health. We follow national guidelines for health screening and are also a supporter of Screen-For-Life (SFL), the MOH-sponsored health screening programme.
Many chronic and medical conditions are “silent” in the early stages – you may have the condition but have no symptoms and still feel completely well. Regular screenings can help you detect medical conditions early before they progress, reducing the chances of complications and financial strain.
