Well-Woman Health Check & Screening

Well person checks are a specialised medical check-up.

These are tailored to each individual to provide a comprehensive overview of your general health, and it includes a history taking (including family history), a physical examination, bloods and other tests.

The Well Woman check requires a double consultation and will be geared towards your age and specific complaints, taking into account your past medical history.
