Why Should I Get A Health Assessment?

Unfortunately very few of us die from old age. It is usually cancer, heart disease or stroke that cuts our life short. 

A comprehensive health assessment is essential for early diagnosis of the most common life threatening conditions, diseases, disorders and cancers.

HealthScreen’s health assessment offers you peace of mind by providing accurate results and actionable advice concerning key aspects of your health. 

 

Why Is A Health Assessment Important?

Health assessments from GPs or annual check ups are basic at best or if you want extensive testing it is usually up to you (the patient) to drive the whole process. 

You need to research different tests, then get referrals from your local doctor, then go to multiple facilities for scans, pathology and other testing. 

After all that research, battling your GP to justify the referrals and the many hours to get tested, you still need to hope your doctor can assess all the results and make the best recommendations to extend your life or in some cases save it. 

This is why it is so important to have a comprehensive health assessment at HealthScreen.

 

What Do They Check In A Health Assessment?

In our comprehensive health assessment we check for early signs of cancers, heart disease, aneurysms, cerebrovascular disease and other “silent killers” that are often missed in a typical annual health exam from your GP. A health assessment is simply the most effective approach to identifying current and future health problems that will shorten your life.
