HEALTH SCREENING PACKAGES 2026

Singapore’s health landscape reflects the benefits of modern healthcare alongside the realities of long-term wellness in an urban environment. With high life expectancy and strong access to medical care, many people live active, productive lives well into later years. At the same time, chronic conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol (hyperlipidaemia) and diabetes are relatively common and often develop gradually over time.

Regular health screening plays an important role in identifying these conditions early, allowing individuals to make informed decisions about their health and take preventive steps where appropriate. Screening also supports early detection of cancers and other medical concerns, when management options may be broader and outcomes more favourable.

What is Health Screening?

Many of these conditions progress silently in their early stages and may not cause symptoms until they have advanced. Health screening helps to detect early signs of disease, monitor risk factors and empower individuals to take proactive steps towards better health. It bridges the gap between feeling well and knowing your health status, offering insights that guide lifestyle decisions and clinical care.

At What Age Should You Go for Health Screening?

There isn’t a single “right” age, but health screening is usually guided by age, risk factors and personal health history. In Singapore, a commonly accepted framework is:

In your 20s–30s

If you are generally well, screening focuses on establishing a baseline. This may include:

Blood pressure
Body mass index
Basic blood tests such as glucose and cholesterol (especially if there is a family history of diabetes, heart disease or high cholesterol)

Screening at this stage helps identify early trends rather than disease.

From around 40 years old

Regular health screening becomes more important, even if you feel well. This is when the risk of conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol begins to increase.

Typical screening may include:

Fasting blood glucose or HbA1c
Lipid profile
Kidney and liver function tests
Cardiovascular risk assessment
Selected cancer screening, depending on age and sex

From 50 years old and above

Screening becomes more structured and condition-specific, with closer attention to:

Cardiovascular health
Metabolic conditions
Age-related cancers (such as colorectal cancer)
Bone health, where appropriate

National recommendations from the Ministry of Health also guide screening intervals and test selection at this stage.

Important note

You may benefit from earlier or more frequent screening if you:

Have a strong family history of chronic disease or cancer
Are overweight or physically inactive
Smoke or have other lifestyle risk factors
Have symptoms, even if mild

Health screening is not about expecting illness — it is about staying informed and making proactive choices. The most appropriate age and scope are best determined through discussion with a doctor, based on your individual risk profile.

Why is Health Screening Important?

Preventive health screening helps individuals maintain long-term health and improve life expectancy.

Health screening plays a vital role in preventive healthcare. It helps you understand your current health status, catch subtle abnormalities early and make informed choices. Key benefits include:

Early detection of risks and disease – many chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure or elevated cholesterol, show no obvious symptoms until they are advanced. Screening can identify these early, so management can begin promptly.
Prevention through actionable insights – results can reveal modifiable risk factors. With personalised guidance, you can adjust diet, activity or habits to reduce the risk of future illness.
Better treatment outcomes – detecting disease at an earlier stage, particularly cancers or cardiovascular issues, often means simpler treatment and better outcomes.
Track changes over time – regularly repeating tests helps monitor trends in your health metrics, guiding long-term planning and clinical decisions.
Peace of mind – knowing your health status provides reassurance and reduces uncertainty, especially as you age or if you have risk factors.

Who Should Consider Health Screening?

The screening is beneficial for many people, especially those at higher risk or entering new life phases. This includes:

Adults aged 30 and above – risk of chronic conditions increases with age, making regular checks particularly important.
Individuals with a family history of chronic disease – a familial predisposition to diabetes, heart disease or cancer may warrant more frequent monitoring.
Those with lifestyle risk factors – smoking, physical inactivity, unhealthy eating or high stress can increase risk for many diseases.
People with existing risk indicators – high blood pressure, high cholesterol or elevated blood sugar on previous tests are signs to monitor closely.
Anyone seeking a proactive approach – even if you feel well, screening gives insight into your health and helps catch silent conditions early.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I go for a health screening?

For most adults, annual or biennial screening is recommended, especially after age 30 years old or if you have risk factors. Our doctor (link to doctor’s page) can advise a personalised schedule based on your health profile.

Do I need to fast before my health screening?

Yes, for certain blood tests such as glucose and lipid profiles, an 8 to 10 hour fast is usually required. You can still drink water unless otherwise instructed.

What happens during a screening visit?

You will have a consultation, physical measurements (blood pressure and BMI), blood and urine tests, and any imaging or specialised tests included in your package. Results are reviewed with you in a follow-up consultation.

Can screening detect cancer before I have symptoms?

Yes, screenings like tumour markers, imaging or specific tests such as mammograms or PAP smears can detect cancers early, when treatment outcomes are generally better.

Will I receive a report after my screening?

Yes, you will receive a clear, easy-to-understand report of your results, with personalised recommendations and next steps where relevant.

Is health screening covered by insurance or subsidies?

Coverage varies by plan and provider. Some corporate or personal insurance packages include preventive screening benefits. We recommend checking with your insurer. Our admin team can assist where needed.

I feel healthy. Do I still need screening?

Absolutely. Many chronic conditions develop silently with no symptoms. Screening allows you to identify hidden risks and act early, offering peace of mind and better long-term health outcomes.
