What is Health Screening?

Health screening is a preventive medical check-up that detects diseases at an early, more treatable stage — often before symptoms appear. It typically includes blood tests, imaging tests, and physical exams, tailored to your age, sex, and health risks.

Why is Health Screening Important?

According to the WHO, 30-50% of cancers are preventable, and early detection greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.
Regular health screenings are also effective in helping prevent major chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease.
Screening is not just a test—it is a proactive step to protect your future health.
