The Ultimate Guide to Medical Check-Up Package






Introduction


Last fact-checked: 15 December 2020

Booking a medical check-up package at one of our partner clinics around the world is a great way to keep track of your health and to monitor how well your body’s systems are functioning. Although heading to the doctor might not seem like the most activity while on holiday or business, it is a good way of saving money while giving yourself a little peace of mind. 

Keep reading to learn more about check-up packages and how simple it is to book with Medical Departures. 

During a health check-up, the screening process covers a range of different tests, such as blood tests and scans, as well as a thorough examination and consultation with a doctor. When it’s all finished, you’ll receive a full record of your results, as well as advice/explanations about what they mean, and recommendations from your doctor on how to maintain or improve results for the future.

Another key benefit of health check-ups is that the routine tests involved may show up early warning signs of ill health, even though you may not have any symptoms and could be totally unaware of any problem. When a disease is detected early, it can usually be treated more successfully than if delayed, and is thus likely to have much less of an impact on your life.

Health Screening Basics: What's Included?


Health screening packages vary in terms of which tests are included; you will need to check to see whether it fulfills your requirements. If there is something particularly important you need to be examined, then you should discuss it with the doctor or Medical Departures’ Customer Care Team beforehand.

Basic health check-ups usually consist of a physical examination, and measurements such as height, weight and Body Mass Index (BMI). You may also be given vision or hearing tests.

Many bodily functions can be assessed through blood tests, and these include:

  • A full blood count (FBC)
  • Lipid profiles (cholesterol)
  • Kidney function
  • Liver function
  • Thyroid function
  • Tumor markers
  • Vitamin levels
  • You may also have a stool and urine analysis.
  • Other tests that may be included in a more thorough health evaluation may include:
  • Scans and x-rays, including electrocardiography (ECG) to monitor the heart
  • Bone density scans to measure bone strength
  • Ultrasound and chest x-rays

Many of these medical tests are also recommended for those in their 20s and 30s.

Preventive Medicine


You’ve heard the saying “prevention is better than cure” and this is exactly why a medical check-up should be something to consider. Contemporary healthcare trends are very much geared toward preventing disease; this can be achieved through education which can enable people to take more responsibility for their own wellbeing. Screening programs play a big role in this effort.

Peace of Mind


A medical check-up can help put your mind at ease about your body’s health and assist you in making future decisions in terms of modifying your lifestyle to achieve and maintain optimal health—both now and in the future.

This was my second surgery by Dr Yobel- neck & lower face. Because Dr Yobel is so meticulous, the surgery took longer than initially expected. I offered to pay more because of this but he wouldn't hear of it. Dr Yobel, the anesthetist, and his nurse were all very professional & kind.

My surgery was breast implant. Takes me only 9 days to get rid of all the painfulness. Very surprised with the recovery time. Doctor say one month later will see a better result, but now the result alrdy very good. Good service, good surgery quality, really nothing can be complain about

I had an issue with the skin around my outer eyelids drooping, which reduced my field of vision. Being 81 years old, I had to carefully consider and choose the right option. A relative who had surgery with Dr. Nut recommended him to me, and I’m so glad I made the right decision. His touch was gentle, and his skills are exceptional!

I underwent double eyelid surgery and correction of my droopy eyelids with Dr. Nut, who provided advice on both the pros and cons before the surgery and analyzed my issues to achieve a naturally beautiful result. Just fixing my eyes made me look 10 years younger! I feel much more confident now.

This is my second time getting Botox injections. I needed to reduce my jaw muscles because of excessive chewing, which was causing tooth wear. The Botox used is high-quality and lasts a long time. The doctor gave great advice, especially since my jaw muscles were uneven on both sides. Before the injections, they applied a numbing cream and used a cold compress. Botox really helped reduce my jaw size—I can tell because when I clench my teeth, my jaw muscles no longer bulge. After the injections, I do feel a slight soreness in my jaw when chewing, but it's minimal.

The doctor is very observant and attentive to his patients. Initially, I took my partner for a cosmetic surgery consultation, but the doctor noticed a lump on my face and recommended I get it surgically removed. Fortunately, the doctor detected it in time and performed surgery, as it turned out to be basal cell carcinoma, a type of skin cancer. Thankfully, it hadn't spread, and after the treatment, I recovered completely. Now, I'm living a healthy and normal life.

In the past, people used to say I looked stern and a bit arrogant. But after undergoing ptosis surgery with Dr. Sahathat, everyone has been commenting on how much better and sweeter my eyes look. The doctor took great care of me, providing thorough guidance throughout the process. After the surgery, there were no bruises or pain, just a little swelling and tightness. I didn’t even need any recovery time. I had the procedure done one day and was back to work the next. The incision was smooth, and the work was excellent!

At that time, my chin was too short, which made my face look stubby. So, I consulted with Dr. Nut, who recommended a silicone chin implant, size M. Now, my face is well-balanced, and my chin looks beautifully natural, not overdone. A perfect 10/10!

I used to be really afraid of getting fillers because I’m scared of pain, but when I met Dr. Nut, the procedure didn’t hurt at all, and I looked more beautiful afterward. I was so impressed with his work that I consulted him about getting my eyes done as well. After the procedure, everyone kept asking what I had done because I looked both more beautiful and younger. I’m absolutely thrilled with the results!

This year, I planned to host a Kathin ceremony, and I wanted to do something to make myself look less tired. When I consulted with Dr. Nut, he explained everything clearly and honestly, so I decided to go for a full facelift, neck lift, and eye surgery. I’m so glad I did—it was absolutely worth it!
