Additional information
The main goal of this type of check-up is to identify risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and develop an individual program for their correction. First, it is about identifying risk factors such as arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidaemia. Currently, these diseases cannot be cured radically, but they can be diagnosed in a timely manner and kept under control with the help of lifestyle correction and drug therapy, thereby preventing the development of such serious cardiovascular diseases as coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and stroke. Also, as part of the therapeutic check-up, laboratory and instrumental examination of the thyroid gland, liver, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and abdominal aorta are carried out. It is especially recommended to choose this package if you have family history of heart attacks and stroke, sedentary lifestyle, constant exposure to stress and bad habits. If desired, you can supplement therapeutic screening with a consultation of gynaecologist/urologist, mammologist, gastroscopy, or colonoscopy and other diagnostic options. To personalize your check-up, we recommend you take a short interactive survey on the GMI website.

FAQ
What does basic health screening package include?
Each basic health check-up package involves:
- A chest x-ray for lung and heart examination
- Electrocardiography (ECG) to detect the heart conditions
- A cholesterol test to identify the risk of cardiovascular diseases developing
- A blood sugar (glucose) test for diabetes detection
- Liver screening to determine the risk of cirrhosis or hepatitis developing
- Kidney examination for renal failure detection
- A consultation with a general practitioner who analyses the results of diagnostic procedures and identifies risks for your health.
Basic health check-up packages may vary in different medical centers. The basic examination program can be supplemented with some additional tests.
How can basic health check-up packages help you?
Basic health screening packages are developed for healthy people. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends undergoing a basic check-up program once a year for:
- health status evaluation and identification of the risks of potential diseases in the future
- confirmation or denying the patient's health complaints (if any)
- prevention of inherited diseases (diabetes, oncology, neurological disorders, etc.).
Where to find the most affordable basic health check-up packages?
Asian (India, Thailand) and Eastern countries (Turkey, the UAE) provide the cheapest basic health check-up packages. The cost of the body examination in these states is 2-3 times lower than in European countries, the USA, or Israel due to the average price policy and a living wage.
However, it's possible to find affordable basic health screening packages in European countries such as Lithuania or Poland. Concerning the local citizens' income in these states, the price of basic health check-up packages is 2 times lower than in Germany, Spain or Italy.
