Preventive health care involves measures taken to prevent diseases or conditions before they start. This includes regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations.

Common chronic diseases managed include diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), asthma, arthritis, and heart disease.

The frequency of health check-ups depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Generally, adults should have a check-up at least once a year.

Women’s health services include gynaecological exams, prenatal care, family planning, breast health screenings, and menopause management.

Paediatric care includes well-child visits, vaccinations, developmental screenings, and management of childhood illnesses and conditions.

Ophthalmologists treat a wide range of conditions including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and refractive errors like nearsightedness and farsightedness.

Adults should have a comprehensive eye exam at least once every two years, or more frequently if advised by your eye doctor based on your age, health, and risk factors.

Signs include blurred vision, difficulty seeing objects up close or far away, frequent headaches, eye strain, and squinting.

An eye exam involves tests for visual acuity, assessment of eye muscle function, pupil response, and examination of the retina and optic nerve. It may include dilation to allow a better view of the back of the eye.

Regular eye exams, maintaining a healthy diet rich in antioxidants, protecting your eyes from UV rays with sunglasses, and avoiding smoking can help reduce the risk of eye diseases.

Candidates include individuals with symptoms such as blood in urine, recurrent urinary tract infections, or suspected bladder abnormalities.
