Executive Checkup in South Africa

Lifestyle choices, genetics, and age are factors that can bring about diseases into our otherwise healthy bodies. Sometimes these diseases are asymptomatic (silent/present with no symptoms) until the later stages when it is too late to treat them. Having regular checkups can help detect any diseases early and give you a better chance at treating them.

It is important to have a comprehensive health check up on a regular basis. Incomplete checkups can leave with a false sense of security because they do not include certain tests. An executive health check up is designed with a disease risk profile in mind and with the information you provide. The check up varies with age and sex.

The tests and procedures ordered will depend on your gender, age, existing health conditions, family history, and lifestyle. Tests and procedures for an executive health check up include:
