About Health Checkup

A comprehensive health checkup performed by an Internal Medicine specialist is a proactive medical evaluation designed to assess your overall health status, detect potential issues early, and establish a personalized wellness baseline. This thorough examination goes beyond basic vitals, involving a detailed review of your medical history, a complete physical assessment, and a series of diagnostic tests tailored to your age, gender, and risk factors. The internist analyzes results to identify silent conditions like hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol, providing crucial insights for preventive care. It serves as a cornerstone for managing chronic diseases, optimizing health, and formulating a long-term preventive strategy, empowering you to make informed decisions about your well-being.
