FAQ
How is a medical check-up more advantageous than doing the same tests yourself?
The check-up program is a comprehensive body check-up that includes tests and instrumental examinations, which are included in the mandatory list from the World Health Organization (WHO). The packages are formed according to your goals, taking into account your age, heredity, health problems. With this program, you don’t need to look for an examination yourself, which doctor to go to and where to do it. In addition, it is cheaper than having all of your own doctor’s examinations and tests, and it takes only a very short time (1-3 days).
Who needs a check-up?
Every health-conscious person should have a check-up every year, because many illnesses do not manifest themselves at an early stage and can only be detected through diagnosis. It is also important to have a body check-up for people at risk, for example people with benign tumours, people with hereditary factors, people with bad habits, people who work in harmful industries and people over forty years of age.
Which clinics do you refer patients to?

When you contact us, list all your complaints and show the results of your examinations, if you have any. We will find a clinic that specializes in your problem.
How will I be examined?
Depending on your wishes, we offer several packages: Basic, Premium, Platinum or organ-specific examinations. It is also possible to draw up a personalized examination plan, tailored specifically to you. Usually all examinations are done in one day, but more detailed examinations can take from 2 to 3 days.
Is it painful?
Most tests are painless. Colonoscopy, fibrogastroscopy are uncomfortable, so they are done under sedation – a short drug-induced sleep. During sedation, the patient does not feel anything.
Let’s say I’m found to have a disease. What then?
If the diagnosis reveals that further tests are needed, you may need to stay in Turkey for a few days. Later on it depends on the circumstances. You can get a final report and consultation from a specialist, go home and have treatment there, or stay in Turkey.

You will be accompanied by a coordinator or interpreter at all times. He or she is present during consultations with all doctors, so you will have no problem understanding the language.
History
Check-up diagnostics was first used in the US in the late 1970s
to provide preventive screening for three thousand middle- and senior-level industry managers aged 35 to 55.
The examination plan was quite simple, but pretty revolutionary for that time – blood tests, whole body X-ray and ECG at rest and under load. The study revealed that most of the healthy, at first glance, men and women had some kind of abnormalities, which required both preventive measures and treatment. It should be noted that after the experiment was completed, the doctors continued to examine their patients regularly (every two years), at the same time adjusting the directions of treatment and prevention.
The results of their work were published in 2000. It turned out that, as a result of the check-up carried out in the studied group, it was possible to reduce morbidity by a ten of times and to reduce mortality by almost half in comparison with the average values for the branches.
