Executive Clinic

Caring for your health
Eight out of ten people examined at the Executive Clinic, including men and women executives and housewives, had a variety of unsuspected problems, such as:

• Obesity.
• Harmless looking lumps in the body.
• High Blood Pressure.
• Stress related problems.
• Diabetes.
• Dental ill-health.
• High cholesterol.

Minor fleeting complaints, seemingly insignificant, are frequently ignored but not forgotten. A routine examination and set of investigations provide an opportunity for assuring oneself about good health, and how to achieve and maintain it, if silent factors that may be harmful in the future are recognized.

The major benefit of a health evaluation programme is to give you information about the status of your current health – the do's and don'ts. In case you require follow-up with specialists, necessary appointments will be arranged, which are not included in these packages.

Keeping in mind the pressure at the office and at home the Executive Clinic has developed a number of time-efficient yet comprehensive check-up programmes to suit your individual needs.

PACKAGE A - OUTPATIENT PACKAGE

Executive Clinic
The basic health screening programme requires two visits. The first visit involves a series of laboratory tests, a chest X-ray, dental check-up and an electrocardiogram (ECG), and generally takes between 100 to 120 minutes. The second visit, which is scheduled approximately a week or 10 days later, includes a thorough physical check-up by a consultant physician who also discusses and counsels on various risk factors and test results as well as plans for treatment and follow-up of abnormalities detected.

This basic health screening programme includes:

• Complete history and physical examination, which reviews the life-style, eating habits, exercise levels, genetic make-up, etc.
• Dental examination – as teeth are often ignored and mouth is a gateway to the body.
• Blood grouping – knowledge regarding your blood group is important, specially in emergency situations.
• Haemogram gives information whether you are anaemic or not, resistance and defense capabilities of blood, clotting power and size and shape of blood cells.
• Chest X-ray for detecting lung and heart diseases.
• Blood analysis for the early detection of liver, kidney, and metabolic diseases (such as diabetes, gout, etc.) and blood fat examination.
• Stool examination for detecting any intestinal worms, dysentery, gastrointestinal and hidden bleeding, etc.
• Detailed urine report for kidney function or other infections.
• Ultrasound of prostate gland and PSA (blood test for cancer of prostate) is advisable for men over 50 years, at extra charge.
• Electrocardiogram (ECG) for heart screening.
• Detailed medical report is mailed to you two to four weeks after your examination by the physician.

WELL-WOMEN CHECK-UP

A screening programme for women is part of the Executive Clinic service. In addition to the listed tests, it includes consultation with a female physician and tests such as breast examination and a PAP smear. Mammography is advisable for women over 40 years.

PACKAGE B - DAYCARE PACKAGE

Special Executive Clinic
This health screening programme requires one visit only. In addition to the Executive Clinic Package-A, this comprehensive physical examination profile includes tests like:

A medical report is mailed to you within two to four weeks. You will be required to arrive at the Executive Clinic at 9:00 AM on the day of your appointment.

You will undergo a series of diagnostic procedures in the Eye, Radiology and Physiological Measurement Services.

You will have consultations with a consultant physician.

Additional Consultations and Tests
Sometimes patients get concerned because extra tests are advised such as additional X-ray, specialist's opinion or more laboratory tests. This need not cause alarm and does not necessarily signify a medical problem. Occasionally, information to the physician or the initial laboratory screening suggests that additional tests could be useful. Such screening is aimed at early detection of unsuspected diseases for which effective specific treatment can be given. In a majority of cases, early diagnosis is a first step towards successful cure.

The following additional tests are recommended for:

MEN OVER 50 YEARS:

• Ophthalmologist consultation for detecting glaucoma
• Prostate specific antigen to rule out cancer of prostate
• Ultrasound of prostate to detect prostate enlargement.

WOMEN OVER 35 YEARS:

• Mammography recommended for early detection of breast cancer.
• Ultrasound pelvis.
