Why health screenings are important for women to stay well

Prevention is the key to good health, especially for women, and the best way to maintain good health is to get a health screening. Health screenings can detect diseases and health risks at an early stage, so they can be treated quickly or even prevented, especially since conditions such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure are usually present without any symptoms.
     Consult your family doctor before selecting a suitable health screening programme. At International Medical Clinic a general screening for women includes a full medical history and a comprehensive physical examination. Depending on your age and medical background, IMC's health screen may also involve:

  • Blood analysis (for cholesterol, blood sugar)
  • Urine Analysis (for kidney disease)
  • Stool Analysis (for colon cancer)
  • Mammogram and / or breast ultrasound
  • Bone mineral density (for osteoporosis)
  • ECG and Exercise stress test (for heart disease)
  • Cervical Smear (PAP smear)
