Early Diagnosis Puts Control in Our Hands!
Environmental factors, addictions such as smoking or alcohol, and our genetic heritage — all can put us at risk for various diseases. Is there a solution? When Güven is by your side... there is always a solution.
The primary goal of modern preventive medicine is to ensure a healthy and long life by identifying risks through check-ups and taking measures before diseases develop or at their earliest stages.
Why Should You Get a Check-Up?
The first step in protecting your health, preventing potential future illnesses, and ensuring effective treatment is early diagnosis. Preventing disease is not only more cost-effective than treating it after onset, but also a much easier process than restoring lost health.
Many of the world’s leading causes of death, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer, can be prevented or treated successfully through early detection.
Who Should Get a Check-Up and How Often?
A check-up is a general health examination that should be performed at least once a year, even for individuals who have no symptoms or known illnesses.
What Should a Check-Up Include?
At Güven Hospital and Güven Çayyolu Health and Life Campus, after a consultation and physical examination conducted by our specialist physicians, a personalized check-up program is designed based on the individual’s age, gender, risk factors, and profession. In addition to customized programs, predefined comprehensive check-up packages are also available.
What Should I Do Before Coming for a Check-Up?
- Be sure to make an appointment and arrive fasting on the scheduled day (10–12 hours of fasting).
- If you suspect pregnancy or are on your menstrual period, inform your doctor beforehand.
- Consult your doctor regarding any heart or blood pressure medications you take regularly.
- Stop taking vitamin C supplements two days before your check-up.
