Check-up “periodic health examination and screening” enables people who have no complaints to detect hidden problems that may lead to disease in the future and to take preventive measures.

Modern medicine aims to keep the person healthy by taking the necessary precautions before the disease occurs. For this reason, even if there are no complaints, every person should go through a general health check by consulting a doctor at certain intervals. These periods may vary according to age and general condition of the person.

It is possible to detect breast, cervix, prostate and large intestine cancers at an early stage with the check-up to be carried out every 6 months.
