Check-Up & Preventive Health

What is a comprehensive health check-up in Türkiye?

It is a planned clinical assessment whose components depend on the patient’s age, symptoms and risk profile. The provider confirms the tests after reviewing the individual case.

Can I arrange an executive check-up during a short stay?

You can request a coordinated appointment schedule, but the duration depends on the programme, available slots and any additional findings or tests.

Which check-up is suitable for women?

A clinician considers age, family history, existing conditions and screening history before recommending appropriate assessments.

Which check-up is suitable for men?

A clinician reviews cardiovascular, metabolic and other relevant risk factors and recommends investigations based on personal needs.

Do I need to fast before my appointment?

Some blood tests may require fasting, while others do not. Follow only the preparation instructions confirmed for your actual programme.

Can I take my prescribed medication before the check-up?

Do not stop prescribed medicine without medical advice. Ask the treating provider for test-specific instructions.

How are check-up results explained?

The treating institution provides medical interpretation and follow-up recommendations. Health Plus Turkey helps coordinate communication and appointments.

Does a normal check-up guarantee that I am healthy?
