A check-up is a personalised medical assessment designed to identify risk factors and detect latent diseases at an early stage in order to prolong the patient's healthy life. Check-ups are a key part of preventive medicine.
A check-up includes a consultation with an experienced internist to review family and medical history and conduct a thorough clinical examination. It also includes blood and urine tests and radiological examinations. At the end of the check-up, the doctor assesses the patient's overall health and recommends a follow-up or treatment plan (if necessary).
