Health Check Program
We may appear fit and healthy but our lifestyle takes a toll on our health. Unhealthy eating habits, overeating, extended working hours, inadequate rest, sedentary lifestyle with no exercise, use of alcohol and tobacco – all this plays havoc on the health of an individual. Often with the fast paced life one does not have the time to go for a health check up until there is a medical crisis. A few hours once a year is most often all that is needed to ensure good health.
Periodic health checks help detect disease early and with corrective action can ensure prevention or treatment aimed at cure or containment.
