These services aim to identify consumers who may be at risk of disease and refer them for further investigations. This timely intervention can increase your awareness of health issues, help you identify undiagnosed symptoms, and potentially reduce secondary complications of already diagnosed diseases.
The conditions proven to benefit from early detection through screening and risk assessment include:
♦ high blood pressure (blood pressure)
♦ diabetes (blood glucose testing)
♦ heart disease (cholesterol, lipids, BMI, blood pressure)
♦ chlamydia and gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease test at your doctor)
♦ breast cancer (breastscreen especially over 50 years of age)
♦ cervical cancer (pap smear at your doctor)
We provide you with information to ensure you understand the nature and purpose of the test, and any significant risk involved in having or not having the test.
