Many conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and most cancers are often called “silent diseases” because they rarely show signs or symptoms until they reach advanced stages. By then, the impact can be overwhelming, bringing physical, emotional and financial strain to patients, their families and health care providers.

If you have a family history of illness, your risk of developing certain conditions may be higher. That is why prevention and early detection are important.

Regular medical check-ups help you maintain a healthy body, a sound mind and a happier life.
