Health screening
Keep chronic diseases at bay with our comprehensive health screening packages that are tailored to your age and lifestyle needs.
Why is health screening important?
Health screening is the first step for you to safeguard your health.
Many chronic illnesses, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, do not show symptoms at an early stage, and are often called ‘silent killers’.
Getting a health screening helps to pick up early signs of disease or underlying medical problems, so you can seek treatment promptly to prevent further progression.
Even if you feel well, regular health screening allows you to keep track of your health status, giving you peace of mind to continue living your best life.

At Parkway Shenton, we recommend getting a general health screening every year. This may vary depending on your age, gender, current health condition, and family medical history. If in doubt, speak to your family doctor.

If you’re doing a vision test, please bring your spectacles and do not wear contact lenses when you come for your appointment.
As certain tests require access to your arms or other body parts, it is advisable to wear a comfortable two-piece outfit with short sleeves. Bring along sports attire to change into if you’re doing the cardiac treadmill stress electrocardiogram (ECG). We provide sports shoes and socks upon request.
For ladies, kindly avoid wearing perfume or deodorant on the day of your mammogram.
Try to get a good night’s rest, and avoid doing any strenuous activities right before your health check-up. It is also best to refrain from alcohol and caffeinated drinks on the day of screening, as they may affect the accuracy of your test results.
Fasting is required for blood tests and certain tests like abdomen ultrasound. Please abstain from food and drinks for at least 10 hours before your appointment. Drinking plain water is allowed. If you’re unsure if fasting is required, please check directly with our clinic staff.
You may need to stop taking certain medications like beta-blockers or diabetes medication a day or 2 before your health check-up. For more details, refer to our pre-screening guidelines.
Please seek your doctor’s advice before stopping any medications, especially if you are on insulin injections for Type 1 diabetes mellitus.
