Check-Up

Check-Up

Medicine has been advancing in leaps and bounds. However, it is up to every each and one of us to not just seek treatment, but to try to prevent or even handle anything that may arise as soon as possible. We might all take better care of ourselves if we only knew how simple it is to pick up some healthy habits, how little time is necessary to have routine exams performed and how easy it is to protect our health with a medical check-up.

A check-up can greatly contribute to detecting people who run a higher risk of developing a medical condition and may require further testing and monitoring (prevention). It may also lead to the diagnosis of a pathological condition at an early stage (early diagnosis). Check-ups must be performed regularly and differ depending on the age and gender of the individual.

At HYGEIA Group we have created check-up packages, tailored to different needs. They are performed within the Check-up Department by qualified doctors, who use state-of-the-art equipment.
