Preventive Health
Optimal health begins with preventive care.
Preventive care helps you stay healthy and access prompt treatment when necessary.
Getting regular health check-ups enables you to find potential health issues before they become too much of an issue.
Detecting health conditions and/or disease early means that you’ll be able to get the right treatment quickly. This helps to avoid complications that are more likely to arise if you find out about a disease or condition at a later stage.
In order to live a longer, healthier life, it is important to get regular health screenings and correct treatments.
By going for regular check-ups, you’ll be able to:
- find out about potential issues and treat them before they become full-blown
- detect potentially life-threatening diseases early and get treatment quickly
- harness the full effects of early treatment, thus increasing the chances of recovery
- reduce risk of complications from existing health conditions through close monitoring

Why preventive screenings?
Preventive screenings are known as tests that look for diseases before symptoms are present. In terms of conditions that often show no warning signs, preventive health screenings can be very effective at providing insights about early disease risk so you can take proactive steps with your doctor to prevent chronic illnesses.
How important is it to get tested regularly?
Going for health screenings regularly can help your doctor establish a pattern, so that when there are deviations in your test results, they can provide further advice quickly.
How often should I seek health screenings?
This is a personal decision based on your risk factors and previous screening results. Many of our patients incorporate yearly screenings into their preventive healthcare regimen.
How do I know what to screen for?
The best thing to do is to first, speak to a primary care provider. This is typically a general practitioner, who will be able to address your concerns and provide advice on what you should be screened for. By talking to a doctor first, you can avoid spending money on tests you may not need, as well as address relevant concerns, such as hereditary illnesses.
