The Health & Wellness Team at Alexandra Hospital is committed to helping patients care for their health and empower them to lead happy and healthy lives. We offer a wide range of services, from individual and corporate Health Screenings to Industrial Health, Pre-employment Medical Screening and Travel Health Vaccinations. These are conducted at our clinic or on-site at our client’s premise (for Corporate Screenings).
Why go for health screening? We must take personal responsibility of our health. At the Health & Wellness Clinic in Alexandra Hospital, we offer a range of health screening packages to suit every individual’s needs. Whether it is individual or corporate screening, our one-stop centre offers you the answers you need.
Silent killer In Singapore, cancer, heart disease, stroke and diabetes are major causes of mortality and morbidity. They are triggered by ‘silent conditions’ such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, which can be detected early through regular health screening. Early detection of such conditions will allow for better management and treatment outcomes.
