Questions about this test
What tests are included in a master health check-up?
Contents differ between hospitals, but packages often include blood counts, blood sugar, lipid profile, liver and kidney tests, thyroid tests, urine tests and an ECG. Ask the hospital for the exact list in this package before you book.
How should I prepare for a master health check-up?
Most packages need an overnight fast of about 10 to 12 hours, with only water allowed. Bring a list of your medicines and past reports, and ask the hospital whether to take your usual morning medicines.
