|| The comprehensive premium health check
When did you last have a full health check? Have you ever had a thorough health screen?
Preventive medicine is a way to avoid serious disease, which is more risky, time-consuming and more expensive to treat.
Unfortunately, illness can occur at any age or to any gender, therefore everyone can benefit from the positive action and peace of mind of a health screen.
Looking for the problem before it becomes evident is, in known-risk populations, the best way to achieve the cure of a specific disease. This is true for cancer, heart disease and degenerative diseases.
A check-up is not a cost. It’s an investment in one’s health.
It is now possible to undergo this state-of-the-art health check-up at the Hospital Particular do Algarve in Gambelas with Dr Thomas Kaiser, director of International Health Services at the HPA Group.
What does the Premium Health Check involve?
• On admission at 8.30am, you will be met by our specialist nurse, who will accompany you throughout your morning of health tests.
• Blood tests, urine and stool tests.
• MRI scans of the brain and arteries, abdomen and pelvis.
• CT scan of the lungs.
• Heart ECG, stress test and echocardiogram.
After completion of these tests, which should last approximately four hours, you are free to leave.
Later that same day, when all the results of the morning tests are known, you will meet once again with the doctor, where you will be presented with your health check file containing all your results, which will then be discussed at length by the doctor. A health action plan will then be made for you.
Your Comprehensive Premium Health Check is a flexible check up that can be tailor-made to meet your needs, as any other specific test that you wish to do can also be done on the same morning.
In Portugal, this type of comprehensive check up, where all the tests and results are available the same day, is only possible at the Hospital Particular in Gambelas.
The cost of this incredible one-day full health check is very competitive as the total package price is two-thirds of the normal cost of each individual test.
Why not book your full health check up today? Whether you are on holiday or living in Portugal you can choose the day that is more convenient for you – between golf tee times or spa treatments!
