Your first step
Good health begins with knowing where you stand.
The Foundation Health Assessment gives you a clear, accurate picture of your health today. It identifies potential risk factors early and establishes a baseline you can measure against for years to come.
Whether this is your first health assessment, your annual check, or simply peace of mind, you'll leave with more than numbers. You'll leave with a physician's explanation of what they mean, and clear next steps if any are needed.
Who it's for
What's included
Five areas of screening. One clear picture.
Every part of the assessment is performed by experienced physicians using advanced diagnostic technology, and nothing is left for you to interpret alone.
Comprehensive medical examination
A full physical examination and consultation with an experienced physician. The foundation everything else builds on.
View full examination listEvery Foundation Health Assessment begins with a thorough physical examination, led in person by an experienced physician at Shanghai International Medical Center. It covers the essentials properly – from blood pressure and BMI to specialist eye, ear, nose and throat checks – and sets the baseline that every other part of your assessment builds on.
- Medical consultation
- Height, weight & Body Mass Index (BMI)
- Blood pressure & pulse rate
- Internal medicine examination
- General surgical examination
- Eye examination
- Ear, nose & throat examination
Heart & cardiovascular assessment
Early indicators associated with heart disease and circulatory health, identified before they become symptoms.
View full test listCardiovascular problems rarely announce themselves early. A resting electrocardiogram, alongside blood pressure and heart-rate evaluation, helps identify the early indicators of heart disease and circulatory health issues long before they become symptoms – at the point where they are easiest to act on.
- Resting Electrocardiogram (ECG)
- Blood pressure assessment
- Heart rate evaluation
Medical imaging
Modern imaging reveals what a physical examination alone cannot, checking your major organs directly.
View full imaging listSome things a physical examination cannot see. Modern imaging looks directly at your major organs – from your chest and thyroid to a comprehensive ultrasound of the abdomen – so that changes can be identified at the earliest possible stage.
- Chest X-ray
- Thyroid ultrasound
- Comprehensive abdominal ultrasound of the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, spleen & kidneys
Comprehensive laboratory analysis
A detailed panel of blood and laboratory tests covering the function of your body's major organs.
View full test listA detailed panel of blood and laboratory tests examines how your body's major systems are functioning: blood sugar and long-term glucose control, liver and kidney function, your full cholesterol profile and more. Eleven separate analyses, every one reviewed by a physician before it reaches you.
- Complete Blood Count
- Blood Glucose
- HbA1c (long-term blood sugar)
- Liver function
- Kidney function
- Cholesterol profile
- Triglycerides
- Uric acid
- Electrolytes
- Urinalysis
- Faecal Occult Blood Test
Early cancer screening
Age and gender appropriate tumour markers, included to help identify potential abnormalities at the earliest possible stage.
View marker examplesAge and gender appropriate tumour markers are included as standard, not as an upgrade. These blood tests help identify potential abnormalities at the earliest possible stage – when treatment options are at their widest and outcomes are at their best.
- AFP
- CEA
- PSA (male)
- Female tumour markers where appropriate
