You can feel fine today… and still be sick.
Many serious diseases grow quietly—no pain, no warning, no symptoms.
That’s why targeted health screening saves lives.
What Is Health Screening?
Health screening means checking your body before you feel sick.
Doctors use simple, proven tests to find problems early—when they are easier, safer, and cheaper to treat.
Screening is not guessing.
It is based on strong medical science.
Why Screening Matters
Many people with:
-
High blood pressure
-
Diabetes
-
High cholesterol
-
Certain cancers (like cervical or colorectal cancer)
feel normal at first.
By the time symptoms appear, the disease may already be advanced.
That can lead to complications, high costs, or loss of life.
Early screening helps to:
-
Find disease early
-
Prevent heart attacks and strokes
-
Protect kidneys, liver, and brain
-
Improve survival for proven cancer screenings
-
Help you live longer and better
Essential Screenings Most Adults Should Consider
Screening depends on age, sex, and risk factors. Always talk to your doctor.
These are supported by strong evidence from global health experts.
For Most Adults
-
Blood pressure check – helps prevent stroke and heart disease
-
Blood sugar tests (FBS / RBS / HbA1c) – detects diabetes early
-
Cholesterol (lipid profile) – protects the heart
-
Weight and waist check – helps assess obesity risk
For Women
-
Cervical cancer screening (Pap smear) – saves lives when done early
-
Breast cancer screening – based on age and risk
For Men
-
Prostate health discussion (PSA test) – done after talking with a doctor about benefits and risks
For Everyone (Based on Risk)
-
Colorectal cancer screening – proven to reduce deaths
-
HIV and hepatitis testing
-
Kidney and liver function tests
-
Lifestyle review (diet, exercise, sleep, stress, alcohol, smoking)
What the Science Says
Major health organizations agree:
-
Checking blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol helps prevent serious disease
-
Cervical, colorectal, breast, and lung cancer screening (for high-risk people) reduce deaths
-
Not every test is for everyone—but the right test, for the right person, at the right time, works
Screening is most powerful when it is personalized and evidence-based.
A Simple Truth
Screening is not about fear.
It is about care, love, and responsibility.
Love for yourself.
Love for your family.
Small steps today protect your future.
