Maintaining good health is crucial if we are to enjoy a high quality of life. For this reason, taking steps to support disease prevention and understanding more about when changes are occurring in our body are also vital aspects of our daily lives. Some health disorders are symptomless during their initial stages, meaning that by the time they are detected, they are often at a serious stage, or too developed to be treated effectively. Wouldn’t it be better if we could identify those problems at the outset, making it possible to provide effective treatment at this early stage?

The Health Screening Clinic at CGH Hospital offers annual health screening programs for any person of any age, with suitable screening techniques selected by our team of experts in the field of preventative medicine who have been trained specifically for the task. By also utilizing the latest technology during such screening, we are able to detect the numerous disorders that pose be a risk to you or your loved ones.
