Question 1

What is a Full Body Checkup?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes, health issues can develop quietly, without any obvious signs. This could be due to risk factors such as lifestyle habits, family history, or advancing age. A comprehensive health checkup package includes a series of tests, imaging, and consultations that can help identify potential problems before they become serious.

Question 2

At what age is a preventive health checkup best?

What should I carry during my health checkup?
