Benefits of health screening

Screening is the process of identifying a medical problem at it’s early stage, when treatment and management is much easier. A regular medical examination gives you useful information about your health and can sometimes also highlight familial or genetic conditions. Advice will be provided with regard to the management of any short-term and long-term medical problems.
