About check-up
A health check-up is a set of blood tests, scans and examinations carried out in a single day at a partner hospital, followed by a consultation with a doctor to go through your results. Packages range from basic screening to focused heart checks and comprehensive packages that include an MRI or CT scan.
A check-up looks for signs of common health problems before you have symptoms. It isn't a substitute for seeing your GP about symptoms you already have.

What to expect
Typical timings. Your doctor will give you a personal plan.
- Before you travel
- You'll usually need to fast for several hours before your blood tests. The hospital will send you instructions.
- On the day
- Most tests are completed in one day at the hospital.
- Your results
- A doctor goes through your results with you, and you receive a digital report, usually within 48 hours.
- Afterwards
- There's no recovery time, so you can travel home as planned.
Once you're home
- Share your report with your GP, especially any result the doctor flags for follow-up.
- Keep a copy of your report and any scan images.
- If a result needs follow-up, arrange it with your GP or a specialist at home, or ask us to help arrange it in Turkiye.

Risks to know about
Every treatment carries risks. These are some of the main ones. The treating doctor will explain the risks that apply to you before you give your consent.
- CT scans use radiation; the doctor should explain this before you have one.
- Screening can pick up findings that turn out to be harmless, which can lead to further tests and worry.
- No screening test is perfect: a normal result doesn't rule out every health problem.
- Further tests or treatment recommended after your check-up are not included in the package.
