Essential Health Examination

Capio's entry-level preventive screening delivering a thorough clinical assessment with blood work, cardiac screening, and lung function testing in a 60-to-90-minute appointment. Covers clinical examination, body measurements, resting ECG, blood pressure, spirometry, and a comprehensive blood panel with personalised health report.

The Essential Health Examination is designed as an accessible preventive baseline that consolidates key health assessments into a single visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Despite being the entry tier, the programme covers considerable diagnostic ground — enough to detect the most common preventable conditions including cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic dysfunction, thyroid disorders, and vitamin deficiency. The appointment begins with a health questionnaire covering personal and family medical history, lifestyle factors, and current symptoms. The clinical examination includes body measurements — weight, height, BMI, body fat percentage, and waist circumference — providing the anthropometric data needed to assess metabolic risk. A resting ECG evaluates heart rhythm and electrical conduction, while spirometry measures lung volumes and airflow to screen for obstructive and restrictive patterns. The blood panel is the programme's strongest component relative to its price point, covering total cholesterol with HDL and LDL fractions, long-term blood sugar (HbA1c), kidney function markers, liver function, inflammatory markers (CRP), thyroid function (TSH), and vitamin D. This combination screens for dyslipidaemia, pre-diabetes, renal impairment, hepatic dysfunction, subclinical thyroid disease, and the vitamin D deficiency that is particularly prevalent in Scandinavian populations. All findings are compiled into a personalised health report and discussed in a physician consultation on the same day. No referral is required, and the examination does not carry Capio's 5% patient insurance surcharge.
