Executive Health Screening That Puts You First

What Do I Need To Bring?

• Singapore NRIC / Passport / Work Permit / Employment Pass
• Recent health reports, X-rays, serology results, or doctor’s notes (especially for first-time visits)
• Letter of Guarantee or Authorisation from your insurer, company, or agency (if applicable)
• Corporate authorisation letter, staff pass, or memo (applicable to corporate clients)

Declaration of Illness

Do I Need to Fast?

Not all screening packages require fasting, it depends on the package you select.

When Fasting is Not Required

You may eat and drink, but:

• Avoid heavy, oily meals or alcohol for 8–12 hours before.
• Drink plain water to stay hydrated.
• Skip coffee, tea, soft drinks, milk, and juices before your appointment.
• No smoking or caffeine for 3 hours before, especially if you’re doing a treadmill test.
• Avoid strenuous exercise the day before and on the day.

When Fasting is Required

Some tests require fasting to ensure accuracy:

• No food or drinks (except small sips of plain water) for at least 8 hours before your appointment.
• Light refreshments will be provided after your assessment.
• Avoid alcohol, caffeine, smoking, and strenuous exercise for 8 - 10 hours before your screening.
• Depending on the selected package, the average health screening duration can range from 1.5 to 3 hours.^{*   
  *}Duration may extend depending on the day’s appointments.

Factors to note:

• Triglyceride levels can be measured with or without fasting. While they may rise slightly after a heavy or fatty meal, both fasting and non-fasting results are useful for assessing your health.
• Hormone tests (such as testosterone and prolactin) fluctuate naturally during the day, often higher in the morning. Your doctor will interpret results with this in mind.

Medications, Antibiotics, & Supplements

• Do not take any medication, antibiotics (within the past week), supplements, or Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) on the day of your appointment unless instructed otherwise.
• Inform our doctor of any medications or supplements you are currently taking or have taken recently.
• Please consult your doctor or inform our staff in advance, should you be on medication such as insulin.

For Women

• Pap smear, urine, and occult stool tests should be done at least 7 days before or after your menstrual period.
• Pap Smear: For the best and most reliable results, we kindly recommend avoiding sexual intercourse and vaginal products for 24–48 hours before your test.
• If you are having your period, do not perform any urine and stool sample collection.
• If you are having your period on the day of your appointment, please inform our staff, as some tests would need to be rescheduled.
• Hormone Test: If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on contraceptive pills, or have an IUD, please inform our staff before your hormone test, as these may affect your results.

Refreshments & Food Allergies

Light refreshments will be provided after your health screening, with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options available. If you have any food allergies, please inform us during registration.

What Tests Will I Have?

• If you are wearing contact lenses, please remove them at least 30 minutes before the test.

Stress ECG (Treadmill)

• The treadmill test takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

• If you are taking beta-blockers (e.g. atenolol, propranolol), consult your doctor before the health screening, as they might need to be paused 3 days prior.

• Bring your previous mammogram films or reports, if applicable.
• If you did not bring your latest mammogram films on health screening day, please submit them to our radiology department within 3 working days.
