A general checkup covers every major organ system in one sitting. The value isn't really in any single result. It's in the shape of the whole set, and in having something to compare against next year.

Why a Yearly Check Is Worth the Hassle

Almost everything that matters long term develops without symptoms. Diabetes, cholesterol, kidney trouble, thyroid, anaemia. All of it can be well underway before you'd think to see anyone. A checkup is how you catch those while they're still easy.

The second reason people underrate: comparison. A single result gets judged against a population range built from people nothing like you. Three years of your own results show direction, and direction is what actually matters. A creatinine drifting up inside the normal range tells a doctor far more than any single number ever will.

Who Should Consider These Tests

• No complaints, you just want the yearly check

• You feel off and can't explain it

• It's been over a year since any bloodwork

• You're over 40, or diabetes or heart disease runs in the family

• Your employer or insurer wants one

• You're about to change your diet or start training

What Each Test Tells You

This page lists 7 options. Here's what each one actually measures, so you can pick instead of guessing.

Blood tests

• Complete Blood Picture (CBP): Counts your red cells, white cells and platelets. It's the cheapest way to catch anaemia or an infection you didn't know you had, and it's the single most booked test we do.

• Vitamin D (25 - Hydroxy Vitamin D, Serum): Your body makes this from sunlight, and most people who work indoors don't get enough. Low levels show up as aching bones, weak muscles and flat mood.

• Master Health Checkup: Blood counts, sugar, lipids, liver, kidney, thyroid and urine bundled into one visit. Cheaper than booking the pieces separately.

Scans

• Abdominal Ultrasound: Painless look at your liver, gallbladder, kidneys and pancreas. No radiation, and it takes about fifteen minutes.

Packages

• Master Health Check Up (Blood): The blood-only bundle: counts, sugar, lipids, liver, kidney, thyroid, urine. No scans.

• WELL WOMEN HEALTH CHECKUP: A women's preventive bundle pairing routine bloodwork with age-appropriate screening.

• Well Men Check Up: A men's preventive bundle pairing routine bloodwork with screening that matters at your age.

How to Prepare

• 9 to 12 hours fasting. Water's fine: Master Health Check Up (Blood), Master Health Checkup, WELL WOMEN HEALTH CHECKUP, Well Men Check Up

• No fasting: Complete Blood Picture (CBP), Vitamin D (25 - Hydroxy Vitamin D, Serum)

• Usually 6 to 8 hours fasting. Some scans want a full bladder: Abdominal Ultrasound

Tell the collection team everything you're taking, prescription or not. Plenty of supplements move these numbers, and without that context your report reads wrong.

How Often to Repeat

Once a year for most adults. Twice if you've got something under active treatment.

Understanding Your Results

Expect a value or two to sit slightly outside range. That's normal and usually means nothing. What matters is which one, by how much, and whether it's moving. Read the whole report with a doctor rather than reacting to the flagged lines.

These tests point at a diagnosis. They don't make one. Read your report with a doctor who knows your history and what you're currently taking.
