Besides providing outpatient and inpatient care, general medicine physicians conduct preventive health checks and provide support to admitted patients from other specialties.
Benefits of Preventive Health Care
While it’s never too early to begin living a healthful and active lifestyle, after reaching a certain age, both men and women must schedule full-body checkups to keep a close watch on their health. The food we eat, the lifestyles we lead and our genes exert a significant influence on our overall health, immunity and the development of diseases in our bodies. The purpose of a preventive health check-up is to help develop a more conscious and active life with three main benefits:
- Early detection & prevention of diseases
- Much more cost-effective than seeking cure for diseases
- Motivation for developing a healthier lifestyle
