Types of preventive health evaluations
For whom are the check-ups intended?
Preventive medical check-ups are intended for those who take care of their health.
Due to their stressful lifestyles, the executives and managers are even more exposed to risk factors for many diseases. This is why doctors recommend that the individuals in leadership roles have their first preventive examination before the age of 40.
Preventive medical check-ups are especially recommended for all those who have family history of certain diseases (where a close member of the family is already suffering from a certain disease). In such cases, a preventive medical examination is recommended before the age of forty.
Follow-ups are advised according to the preliminary findings. During a follow-up exam, the specialist doctor can decide, based on the findings, to omit some of the tests.
Why we recommend it?
Preventive medical check-ups are sets of recommended examinations carried out by specialist doctors. Their aim is to detect any possible disease in its initial stage. Since this phase is usually asymptomatic, we cannot detect the disease otherwise. Some diseases can develop over the course of ten years before the onset with the first obvious signs is apparent. When the symptoms appear, it is too late for prevention, and treatment is more complicated and less effective. Only through preventive health checks a disease may be detected early enough to prevent its development or cure it.
In implementing the preventive health programmes, the doctors focus primarily on the risk factors which can lead to cardiovascular disease and to some of the most common forms of cancer. The purpose of preventive health checks is precisely the detection of diseases which do not show obvious signs and can only be observed by diagnostic tests.
Clients about us
Why us?
Expertise
Our doctors are highly qualified experts. By continuing education at home and abroad, and by using the state-of-the-art medical equipment, they constantly keep track of the advancements in medicine and diagnostics. The transfer of knowledge and experience occurs systematically, on a daily basis, also through the exchange of opinions on more complex cases and regarding new discoveries. A large array of in-house medical specialists ensures a high level of professionalism and a wide scope of the offered services.
Comprehensive treatment of the examined patient
After a thorough initial discussion with a patient, the specialist performs several tests. This enables the doctor to find a clear diagnosis with a high degree of confidence and disproves a suspicion of serious disease. Comprehensive treatment, in addition to the extended blood tests, X-ray and ultrasound examinations, further comprises of an endoscopic examination. They allow us to thoroughly examine the cardiovascular system, digestive system, urinary tract, as well as the condition of the skeleton and bone density. Other tests are carried out as necessary, if the doctor considers them to be necessary during the in-depth interview with the patient.
Based on the analysis of the Slovenian market, we find that both packages of preventive examinations offer a greater number of tests and a more comprehensive treatment of each individual than elsewhere.
A comprehensive health check also includes gastroscopy and colonoscopy
We are the first in Slovenia to begin performing gastroscopy and colonoscopy in the context of preventive medical examinations. Even today we are one of the few who include these two endoscopic investigations in their comprehensive preventive examination. These examinations can detect hidden changes in the digestive organs, which otherwise cannot be detected. With the gastroscopy we determine the status of Helicobacter pylori, which causes stomach ulcers and duodenal ulcers, and may be carcinogenic. The colonoscopy serves as a tool for identification of precancerous changes, since colorectal cancer is among the most dangerous and the most common forms of fatal cancers.
Kindness and concern for the patient
The Diagnostic Centre are the people, the employees, who work here. Our relationship with patients is grounded on personal approach, individual treatment, friendliness and helpfulness. We understand how difficult it is for a patient to undergo the examinations, so we always offer support, try to help and act with human warmth. The atmosphere in our Centre is very pleasant, positive and non-hospital-like. We all assume the responsibility for patient care – from administrators and nurses, to doctors.
All tests in one place
All tests are performed in one place, so patients do not need to visit several health institutions. Modern medical equipment allows us to obtain clear findings as quickly as possible. In Bled, we also have our own histological laboratory, which enables us to receive histological results in the shortest possible time.
