Personalised check-ups

Personalised check-ups

Your personal health assessment begins with a detailed interview with a specialist in general internal medicine. They discuss your personal health status. You will be talking directly to an experienced specialist doctor, who will ask you about any previous illnesses and risk factors (for example, high consumption of nicotine or alcohol and persistent stress).

In any event, the individual health assessment will include the following:

  • a physical examination
  • an abdominal ultrasound
  • a blood and urine test
  • an ECG

As soon as the results are available, the doctor will discuss them with you, with reference to your previous illnesses and medical history , and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. When the process is finished, you will be sent a summary medical report. If the health assessment indicates that further examinations are advisable, you will receive expert advice on the issue.

In addition to the individual health assessment we will be happy to provide evaluations for a particular specialty or organ (for example, gastroenterology).

Organ-specific preventive health check-ups

Organ-specific preventive health check-ups

If you would like a preventive evaluation of the health of a particular organ, or significant illnesses have previously occurred in your family (for example, bowel cancer), we recommend an organ-specific preventive health check-up. These preventive programmes are put together on a specialty-specific basis, and deal with an organ system (for example, the skin is covered by the specialty of dermatology).

This form of preventive health check-up begins with an interview with a specialist in the appropriate medical specialty. They discuss your personal health status with reference to previous illnesses in your family. Then there is an organ-specific examination (e.g. using ultrasound or laboratory analysis).

As soon as the results are available, the doctor will discuss them and the subsequent procedure with you, and will be happy to answer any questions you may have. When the process is finished, you will be sent a summary medical report. If this health assessment indicates that further examinations are advisable, you will receive expert advice on the issue. Your personal case manager is happy to help you organise the services that you want using Hirslanden's network of doctors.
