Preventive Screening
We regularly receive inquiries from patients asking whether a preventive screening, scan, or complete blood test can be done. This is often requested based on uncertainty or a sense of security due to the perceived exclusion of conditions.
Loudon Medical Center adheres to the NHG guidelines as its policy. These guidelines stipulate that preventive examinations for people without symptoms do not yield any health benefits. To keep healthcare affordable and accessible to everyone, the GP applies strict guidelines and only refers patients for examinations that are necessary to establish a diagnosis and contribute to health gains.
In the case of a hereditary predisposition involving certain risk factors, the GP will determine whether and which examinations may need to be performed to gain an overview of your health status.
