Health Screening Packages Singapore Review: Which screening test to get?

By
Is it time for a check-up? Which is the best health screening test to get in Singapore?

health screening singapore
There are many private companies and hospitals in Singapore promoting health screening packages in Singapore. It's also clear from browsing around forums and popular healthcare marketing sites that there is a lot of myths and misinformation being spread. Researching online is not as simple as one might think as misinformation could lead you to be scammed by health scams or you could end up with an unnecessary procedure. 
Which tests you need depends on your age, your sex, your family history, and whether you have risk factors for certain diseases. Therefore, it's not as simple as doing some online research and choose the health screening package yourself.

 You should visit your family doctor or a medical doctor who knows you best to decide on the best health screening package for you.

We have compiled a list of health screening packages offered by hospitals in Singapore that you can consider. You may go through this list so that you could start an informed conversation with your family doctor.

Tan Tock Seng Hospital Health Screening Packages

TTSH is a public hospital. If you are not a Singapore resident, you may find it more difficult to book a health check up appointment compared to a private hospital. Most public hospitals have heavy patient loads and appointment dates may not be as prompt as you like due to the number of days you are staying in Singapore.

Changi General Hospital Health Screening Packages

Screening is conducted over two outpatient visits by appointment. On your first visit, you will be examined by our doctor to assess your medical conditions, risk factors for various diseases and current health status. Our doctor will also have a discussion with you regarding the suitability of your chosen package. The health screening tests/procedures depending on the type of package selected will take 2 to 4 hours to complete.

On your second visit, you will receive a personalized medical report on your test results and overall health status, as well as advice on how you can improve or maintain your health. Where appropriate, our doctors will refer you to specialist doctors for further evaluation and management.

Health Screening Singapore Review

The Comparison of Health Screening Packages - debu999
Feb 2017: Recently I joined a Investment bank which offer insurance package with a biyearly Complimentary Health Screening Checkup.
While a lot of tests are common a few key differences are always there in the packages.
I compared the 4 top four google search results on health screening in singapore
Comparing Changi General Hospital, Raffles , SATA, and HealthScreening.SG.
Of all HealthScreening.SG offer looks better compared to other packages but it wlll depend on users preference and medical history which will be better.
For the illustration purpose
I have used the following common packages
1. Raffles - Delux(S$450)/Delus Plus(S$580)
2. CGH - Core Package(S$365)
3. SATA - Premere Package(S$511.45)
4. HealthScreening.sg - Delux General((M)S$458/S$468(F))

There are few nuances for Male and Female Checkups, I have ignored them as they seem to be available similar as to the all the above four.

Let me know your comments if any other hospital to be included. I have kept the regular check cost to be around S$500. Others are too costly for regular health screening and thus needed only for special cases.

Zinc Gluconate vs Zinc Picolinate: What's the Difference?

By
Image
Zinc picolinate and zinc gluconate are forms of dietary supplements that we use to prevent zinc deficiency.  Zinc  is an essential mineral that our body can easily absorb. Therefore, if we do not get enough amount of zinc, we may have to take these dietary supplements as directed by the doctor. When choosing a zinc supplement, it’s important to consider the type of zinc, dosage, and supplement form. Types of Zinc Supplements   There are several types of zinc supplements. Supplements contain several forms of zinc, including zinc gluconate, zinc citrate and zinc picolinate. The percentage of elemental zinc varies by form.  Chelated zinc is a general form of supplementary zinc in which the zinc is chelated — or bound — to a compound to make it easier for the body to absorb. Zinc picolinate or zinc gluconate are formed when zinc is chelated to picolinic acid or gluconic acid, so the main dif

18 Best Supplements to Reduce Cytokine Storm: Advanced Guide (2023 Review)

By
Image
As of November 2023, there are more than 3,000 early treatment studies  that have been published and shared with the whole world. New ones are being added every day.  This is a review of the literature, covering multiple observational studies, randomized controlled trials and references related to natural supplements and cytokine storm with more than 300 studies and references. We know that while a large percentage of the population only experiences mild to moderate symptoms of COVID-19 and won’t require hospitalization, others experience severe symptoms and complications, require hospitalization, or may even die.  It appears one of the differences between those who have a mild illness and severe illness is related to the body's ability to reduce the hyperimmune response that leads to a cytokine storm and the hyper-coagulability (tendency for blood clots) that often accompanies it. The cytokine storm may be one possible way to explain

Dr. Zelenko's Z-Stack Vitamin Cocktail: Review 2024

By
Image
The  Zelenko COVID-19 Protocols  was developed by Dr Vladimir Zelenko. The protocol has as its centerpiece, but not exclusive piece, the combined use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and Zinc as a means by which a person can both help to prevent or mitigate the contraction of  COVID-19 , or can actually treat the disease once it has been diagnosed.  A  retrospective study  analyzing Dr Zelenko's patient data was accepted for publication after a rigorous peer review process. The study finds that early intervention and treatment of high-risk patients with COVID-19 resulted in significantly fewer hospitalizations and deaths. The treatment consisting of zinc, low-dose hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), and azithromycin, is also referred to as "The Zelenko Protocol." Dr Zelenko has since updated his protocols to incorporate new evidence. He has since evolved his protocols to include a quercetin, zinc, vitamin D and C protocol for low-risk patients as w

10 Best NMN Supplements (2024 Review)

By

NMN stands for nicotinamide mononucleotide and is a precursor to NAD+, or nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. NMN is the direct precursor of the essential molecule nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) and is considered a key component to increase NAD+ levels in cells. NAD+ is a critical molecule found in every cell of your body, but levels of NAD+ naturally fall with age, making it — and NMN, as a result — crucial. NMN is one of the most popular supplements in the anti aging community. The global Nicotinamide Mononucleotide (NMN) market was valued at US$ 98.5 million in 2019 and it is expected to reach US$ 296.5 million ( R ) by the end of 2026, growing at a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of 7.3% during 2021-2026. The NAD story took off toward the end of 2013 with a  high-profile paper  by Harvard's David Sinclair and colleagues. Sinclair, recall, achieved fame in the mid-2000s for research on yeast and mice that suggested the red wine ingredient resvera

Insulin Resistance Vs Insulin Sensitivity Vs Keto Diet: What's the Difference?

By

Exploring how your body interacts with insulin is essential for maintaining health, particularly when considering dietary interventions like the ketogenic (keto) diet. Insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity are fundamental concepts that describe your body's ability to process insulin, while the keto diet presents a potential avenue for improving insulin sensitivity and managing conditions such as diabetes. Let's delve into each of these areas to gain a deeper understanding of their significance in health and nutrition. Insulin Resistance Vs Insulin Sensitivity Insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity represent opposite ends of how your body responds to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin Resistance This occurs when your cells don't respond properly to insulin. As a result, your pancreas produces more insulin to help glucose enter cells. Over time, this can lead to high insulin levels in the blood, which is associated wit

Vitamin D 25 Hydroxy and Vitamin D 1 25 Dihydroxy: What's the Difference?

By

Vitamin D is more than just one vitamin. It’s a family of nutrients that shares similarities in chemical structure. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and maintain strong bones throughout your entire life. Your body produces vitamin D when the sun’s UV rays contact your skin. Other good sources of the vitamin include fish, eggs, and fortified dairy products. It’s also available as a dietary supplement. In your diet, the most commonly found members are vitamin D2 and D3. While both types help you meet your vitamin D requirements, they differ in a few important ways. Research even suggests that vitamin D2 is less effective than vitamin D3 at raising blood levels of vitamin D. Dietary vitamin D comes in two main forms: Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) The two forms of vitamin D differ depending on their food sources. Vitamin D3 is only found in animal-sourced foods, whereas D2 mainly comes from plant sources and fortified foods. Your skin makes vitamin D3 whe

Phytonutrients, Polyphenols and Flavonoids 101: What You Need to Know (2024)

By
Image
Besides nutrients, plant-based foods (legumes, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and teas as well as herbs and spices) have another “crop” of naturally occurring compounds with potential health benefits. Collectively they’re called phytonutrients, meaning plant chemicals. “Phyto” means plant. Think fight for “phytos,” since they appear to promote health by sparking body processes that fight, or slow, the development of some diseases. Phytonutrients comprise many different chemicals, including carotenoids, indoles, glucosinolates, organosulfur compounds, phytosterols, polyphenols, and saponins.  Why have phytonutrients captured our attention? Because of their potential for health promotion! Today consumers are more interested in positive nutrition and self-care: adding (not avoiding) foods that may enhance fitness, boost immunity, slow aging, and prevent or slow the chance for chronic disease. Sound like you? Research on phytonutrients is the new frontier in nutrition, as e
