Customized checkup packages help keep your health in check

MANILA, Philippines - Are you a stressed-out company executive concerned about the health of your heart? A teenager who wants to receive dietary advice? A middle-aged woman nearing menopause and unsure about what happens next? A routine medical checkup may be fast, but may not be comprehensive enough for you.

According to the experts at the Makati Medical Center’s Executive Health Center, a complete medical checkup tailored according to your age, risk factors, and general health needs will be more effective in preventing or immediately detecting any disease, leading you to a healthier, more rewarding life.

The Center offers comprehensive and customized Executive Health Checkup packages (two nights or overnight), which allow you to secure your health in the privacy and comfort of your own hospital room under the care of highly trained doctors and nurses. The program’s laboratory, imaging tests and examinations, which are performed by MakatiMed’s allied healthcare personnel, are designed to help diagnose, improve, and maintain your total wellness and health.

Especially designed for those at risk of developing heart problems, the Cardiac Health package includes comprehensive examinations for the early detection of cardiovascular conditions while the Diabetes Health package allows diabetics to monitor their health status, as well as screen for other diabetes-related complications, such as heart and kidney problems, visual problems, and foot infections.

Teenagers aged 13 to 19 can benefit from the Youth Health package, which includes various physical and laboratory examinations and even a consultation with a nutritionist.

The Gastrointestinal package aims to detect potential for gastrointestinal and liver diseases at an early stage, which makes it easier to prevent or cure. This screening program includes a lineup of tests that’s all geared towards the early detection of such conditions.

And finally, MakatiMed offers Women’s Health Pre-menopausal and Post-menopausal packages designed to screen for common diseases affecting women of reproductive age.

Pre-Menopausal A is the basic women’s health package, which includes a Pap Smear and a transvaginal ultrasound to screen for gynecologic conditions, as well as a mammography to detect breast masses. Pre-Menopausal B includes additional colonoscopy and gastroenterologist consultations. Older women may also opt for the Post-menopausal package, which features additional tests for hearing (audiogram) and bone mineral densitometry.
