In our quest to achieve success, we often sacrifice our health. We may be so intent on work, school or personal matters that we fail to recognize the symptoms of serious illness or disease. Most people only visit the doctor when they feel that something is wrong. Unfortunately, the symptoms of some life-threatening conditions are all too easily missed. Many people fall victim to strokes, or learn that they have cancer too late to receive treatment.

To get the most out of your check-up, we attend to all the personal risk factors that apply to you most—taking into account your age, gender and family history, as well as any corporate requirements and considerations relevant to your health check.

Family Medical Practice’s Care1 check-ups take an average of two hours, with many test results available immediately—giving you peace of mind as well as important information about your risk of developing a serious illness. Whenever a potential threat to your health is detected, you will be advised about treatments and ways to minimize your personal risk factors. Preventive medical check-ups can identify potential diseases before they become life-threatening, and can even save your life by enabling you to remove a threat before it’s too late.

Depending on the outcome of your check-ups, you will be referred to a Care1 specialist physician who will make a complete evaluation of your medical issues and determine what the next treatment options should be. This may include ordering additional tests, or prescribing suitable medications if applicable.
