Health Screening Singapore: How do you know which screening tests to get?

-
Is it time for a check-up? Which screening tests or health screening packages to get?

Screenings are tests that look for diseases before you have symptoms. Screening tests can find diseases early, when they're easier to treat. You can get some screenings in your doctor's office. Others need special equipment, so you may need to go to a different office or clinic.

There are many private companies and hospitals in Singapore promoting health screening packages in Singapore. It's also clear from browsing around forums and popular healthcare marketing sites that there is a lot of myths and misinformation being spread. Researching online is not as simple as one might think as misinformation could lead you to be scammed by health scams or you could end up with an unnecessary procedure. 

Which tests you need depends on your age, your sex, your family history, and whether you have risk factors for certain diseases. Therefore, its not as simple as doing some online research and choose the health screening package yourself. You should visit your family doctor or a medical doctor who knows you best to decide on the best health screening package for you.

We have compiled a list of health screening packages offered by hospitals in Singapore that you can consider. You may use this list to start your conversation with your doctor.
