Basic/Comprehensive Check-ups
Consisting of several laboratory tests and physical examinations these types of check-ups are the best way to get an overall picture of your health. Such check-ups are recommended on a yearly basis, especially for people over 30 to detect diseases such as cholesterol and blood pressure, and ensure optimal functioning of the organs and hormonal levels.
Cancer Screening
Cancer screening tests are focused on detecting a variety of cancers early on. Through a series of laboratory tests, doctors can identify the signs and markers of cancer, giving patients a chance to combat this deadly disease early. This is generally recommended for everyone, but specially for those with a family history of environmental exposure to carcinogens.
