Guide
Explain whether you want a routine health check or a focused assessment. Areas include cancer, cardiovascular or cerebrovascular risk, digestive health, women’s health, men’s health or chronic disease risk.
Do you already have symptoms or abnormal results? You may need further assessment by the relevant department rather than a routine health check.
01
How should you choose tests?
Common health checks may include laboratory tests, ultrasound, an ECG and basic imaging. MRI, gastrointestinal endoscopy and PET-CT should not all be added just because a package is described as more comprehensive.
Appropriate tests depend on age, previous abnormal findings, family history, lifestyle, physical condition and medical advice.
02
What should you prepare before booking?
Sharing your circumstances in advance helps establish test priorities, preparation requirements and how much time to allow in Beijing.
- Age, sex and main health concerns
- Previous illnesses, surgery and long-term medicines
- Family medical history
- Whether you are pregnant or could be pregnant
- Whether you need tests under anaesthesia
- How long you can stay in Beijing
- Interpreting and accompaniment needs
- Whether you need to arrive fasting on the day
03
What happens after the reports are ready?
When booking, confirm when reports will be ready, how to obtain electronic copies and whether a doctor’s explanation is included.
If an abnormality is found, SinoCareHub can help contact the relevant hospital or department. A doctor decides whether repeat testing, further investigation or treatment is needed.
