1. General Health Care
Preventive health care involves measures taken to prevent diseases or conditions before they start. This includes regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations.
Common chronic diseases managed include diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), asthma, arthritis, and heart disease.
The frequency of health check-ups depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Generally, adults should have a check-up at least once a year.
Women’s health services include gynaecological exams, prenatal care, family planning, breast health screenings, and menopause management.
Paediatric care includes well-child visits, vaccinations, developmental screenings, and management of childhood illnesses and conditions.
2. Ophtalmology
Ophthalmologists treat a wide range of conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness.
Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every two years, or more frequently if advised by your eye doctor based on your age, health, and risk factors.
Signs include blurred vision, difficulty seeing objects up close or far away, frequent headaches, eye strain, and squinting.
An eye exam involves tests for visual acuity, assessment of eye muscle function, pupil response, and examination of the retina and optic nerve. It may include dilation to allow a better view of the back of the eye.
Regular eye exams, maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, protecting your eyes from UV rays with sunglasses, and avoiding smoking can help reduce the risk of eye diseases.
3. CORTISOL
The Cortisol Test measures cortisol levels in the blood to assess adrenal gland function and diagnose conditions related to hormone imbalances and stress.
No fasting is required, but follow specific timing instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Inform them about any medications you are taking.
Cortisol levels typically vary throughout the day. Morning levels are usually highest, so the test is often scheduled in the morning.
Abnormal cortisol levels can indicate conditions such as Cushing’s syndrome, Addison’s disease, or other adrenal disorders. Further evaluation may be needed.
Results are generally available within 24 to 48 hours after the blood sample is collected, allowing for prompt review and diagnosis.
