As MJ Life preventive health screening followed the guidelines of WHO, i find it worth to share this “Principles and Practice of Screening for Disease“ from WHO what should constitute a good health screening program; it must cover 3 things: your general measurements, organ structures and organ functions.

I’m very proud to know that MJLife has put every effort in making sure that everything is in accordance to this 163 page Public Health Paper - from our questionaires, economic rates, data analysis, automated system to the counselling. But talk is cheap. Read it for yourself.

What exactly is health screening?

The objective of screening for disease is to discover those among the apparently well who are in fact suffering from disease. If the disease is communicable, steps can be taken to prevent them from being a danger to their neighbour.

The aim of early detection
The aim of early disease detection is simple. Early detection aims at discovering and curing conditions which have already produced pathlogical change but have not so far reach a stage at which medical aid had been sought spontaneously.

Which path would you rather take? Health Screening is just simply an evaluation of a person’s health condition by examining the major body organs so as to identify if there is any latent diseases before symptoms become apparent.

Wikipedia:

A disease is asymptomatic if you carry a disease or infection but experiences no symptoms. A condition might be asymptomatic if it fails to show the noticeable symptoms with which it is usually associated.

Asymptomatic conditions may not be discovered until you undergo medical tests (X-rays or other investigations). Some remain asymptomatic for a remarkably long time, including some forms of cancer. If a patient is asymptomatic, precautionary steps must be taken.

A patient’s individual genetic makeup may delay or prevent the onset of symptoms. The most common in the list is high blood pressure and osteporosis.
