Health screening programs at Korean checkup centers
Hospitals and health screening centers in South Korea provide full health check-up programs. These health profile examinations use high-tech medical equipment (latest CT, PET-CT, X-Ray, MRA, MRI) to detect the presence of an anomaly in your body.
Medical check up programs should be part of our personal care, a once-a-year kind of event, particularly for men over 40 years old and women over 30 years old.
At Korean health screening centers, these 4-to-8-hours medical tests can detect harmful symptoms at an early stage and help to get the right diagnosis. Checkup programs can also warn us if we are prone to develop some kind of disease or health problem. Even tell us if we have some unbalanced biometrics we can easily correct through diet and healthy habits.
Every program at Korean checkup centers is customized to cover specific needs, but patients can modify the health screening programs according to the requirements. Most of the procedures last one day, although more comprehensive exploratory exams might take up to 3 days.
