Health Screenings
Regular health checkups play an important role in an individual's wellbeing. They provide an opportunity for early detection of disease and increase the chances for timely treatment and cure. Individuals who take responsibility for their health status enjoy a better quality of life.
Cancer and vasculair diseases are the cause of many early deaths, handicaps and disabilities. Today, with many non-invasive medical imaging methods (ultrasonography, MRI, CT, PET/CT) early diagnosis of vascular deceases and cancer is very much possible. Half the battle is "catching" the disease before any signs or symptoms. As the saying goes - prevention is better than cure.
