Silent risks build up
You feel fine, but serious problems can start without symptoms
High blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol often have no early signs. Cancer screening guidelines change with age and risk. Vaccines for flu, pneumonia and shingles are easy to miss.
-
No early warning signs
Blood pressure, sugar and cholesterol can rise quietly for years.
-
Screening ages confuse you
Guidelines for mammograms, colon checks and lung scans differ by age and history.
-
Adult vaccines get forgotten
Flu, pneumococcal, HPV and shingles vaccines have specific schedules.
-
Busy life delays check-ups
Work and family make it hard to book a full day for tests.
-
Fear of abnormal results
Worry about what a test might find stops many from going.
Regular visits help screen for medical issues before symptoms appear.

-
20% relative risk reduction
Meta-analysis of randomised trials found screening reduced breast cancer mortality by about 20%.
-
3 to 5 million severe flu cases
Seasonal influenza causes millions of severe illnesses globally each year.
-
83% drop in HPV 16/18
HPV vaccination cut high-risk virus prevalence by 83% in girls aged 13-19 after 5-8 years.
If it is left untreated
Untreated high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol raise the risk of heart attack, stroke and kidney disease. Missed cancer screening can delay diagnosis until symptoms appear. Skipping vaccines leaves you exposed to preventable infections.

Frequently asked questions
Questions patients ask about preventive health and screening
Which problems are assessed under preventive health and screening?
In short
Preventive health and screening at Jaipur Hospital assesses risk for common chronic diseases and cancers. The packages cover heart disease, diabetes, liver and kidney function, thyroid disorders, and lipid abnormalities. Cancer screening includes breast, cervical, ovarian, prostate and lung checks based on age and risk. Adult vaccination status for influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis B, HPV and herpes zoster is also reviewed.
In detail
The executive health check-up uses blood tests (CBC, lipid, sugar, liver, kidney, thyroid), ECG, chest X-ray and USG abdomen to detect silent conditions such as hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and organ dysfunction.
The cancer screening panel adds PSA, CA-125, mammography, Pap smear and low-dose CT chest per guideline-based eligibility. Cardiac risk assessment includes TMT, 2D Echo, Hs-CRP and coronary calcium scoring. Evidence shows early detection of breast cancer through mammography is associated with reduced mortality.
Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer and second leading cause of cancer death, so guideline-based screening is offered. Vaccination prevents severe influenza illness, which causes 3 to 5 million severe cases globally each year.
A common belief
Many people think a check-up is only for when they feel unwell.
What actually happens
But high blood pressure, high cholesterol and early cancers often have no symptoms. Screening finds these silent problems early, when treatment works better.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
You can book a preventive health package as an outpatient visit taking 2 to 4 hours. Reports are usually ready in 24 to 48 hours. The basic package typically costs ₹3,000 to ₹10,000 and executive or cardiac packages ₹15,000 to ₹50,000. Your surgeon will advise which panel suits your age and risk profile.
How will the doctor decide which tests I need?
In short
The doctor at Jaipur Hospital selects tests based on your age, sex, personal medical history, family history, lifestyle factors and current guidelines. For example, colorectal cancer screening starts at age 45 for average-risk adults. Mammography is considered from age 40 to 45. Cervical screening with Pap or HPV testing applies to women 30 to 65. Low-dose CT lung screening is for ages 50 to 80 with a 20 pack-year smoking history. Vaccination needs follow age and risk-based schedules.
In detail
Guidelines from major bodies provide the framework. The USPSTF publishes recommended screenings updated as evidence changes. ACS recommends colorectal screening from 45 to 75 with individualised decisions for 76 to 85. Breast cancer screening starts at 45 with option to begin at 40.
Cervical screening uses Pap every 3 years, HPV every 5 years, or co-testing every 5 years for women 30 to 65. Diabetes screening starts at 35 if overweight. Cholesterol screening begins at 20 and repeats every 4 to 6 years, more often with risk factors. The doctor also considers your comorbidities, medications, prior test results and preferences to tailor the package.
A common belief
A common mistake is asking for every test available.
What actually happens
More tests are not better. Unnecessary tests can lead to false positives, overdiagnosis and anxiety. Guidelines target tests where benefit outweighs harm for your specific risk group.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
During your consultation, the doctor will review your history and risk profile, then recommend a specific preventive package or individual tests. The visit takes 2 to 4 hours as an outpatient. Reports come in 24 to 48 hours. Prices range from ₹3,000 to ₹10,000 for basic and ₹15,000 to ₹50,000 for executive or cardiac packages.
How soon should I expect improvement after a preventive health check-up?
In short
A preventive health check-up at Jaipur Hospital is not a treatment, so there is no recovery or improvement period. The visit takes two to four hours and you can resume normal activities immediately. Reports are usually available within 24 to 48 hours.
In detail
The check-up involves routine blood tests, imaging such as ECG, chest X-ray or ultrasound, and a physical examination. These are standard, non-invasive steps performed under medical supervision. Because no anaesthesia or intervention is used, there is no downtime.
The purpose is early detection of risk factors like high blood pressure, high blood sugar or abnormal cholesterol, which often have no symptoms in early stages. Identifying these early allows timely lifestyle changes or medical management.
A common belief
People sometimes expect a check-up to fix a problem.
What actually happens
It does not treat illness; it finds hidden risk factors like high blood pressure or high cholesterol before they cause symptoms.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
You will receive your reports within one to two days. A doctor will review them with you and advise any follow-up tests or specialist referrals if needed. You can book a preventive health check-up at Jaipur Hospital by calling the hospital or visiting the OPD.
Which checks are appropriate for my age, symptoms, and family history?
In short
The appropriate checks depend on your age, risk factors, and family history. At Jaipur Hospital, the surgical team follows standard guidelines to recommend packages such as the Executive Health Check-up, Cancer Screening Panel, Cardiac Risk Assessment, or Adult Vaccination. Your surgeon will tailor the plan at the consultation.
In detail
Evidence shows screening recommendations vary by age and risk. Blood pressure should be checked yearly. Cholesterol screening starts at age twenty and repeats every four to six years, more often with risk factors. Diabetes screening starts at thirty-five if overweight.
Colorectal cancer screening is recommended from forty-five to seventy-five. Mammography starts at forty to forty-five for average-risk women. Pap or HPV testing follows specific intervals after age thirty. Low-dose CT lung screening applies to ages fifty to eighty with a smoking history.
Family history of breast, colon, or other cancers may shift the starting age earlier. Vaccines such as influenza, pneumococcal, HPV, herpes zoster, and hepatitis B are offered per adult schedules.
A common belief
Many people choose a package without checking if it matches their risk.
What actually happens
A twenty-year-old does not need a colonoscopy. A smoker may need a lung CT. Your surgeon matches tests to you.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
Bring details of your age, medical history, family history, and current medications to the OPD. Your surgeon will review guidelines and recommend the right package. The visit takes two to four hours. Reports arrive in twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
How can I decide whether to seek advice about an annual master health check-up?
In short
Consider a master health check-up if you want a structured review of common health risks even when you feel well. At Jaipur Hospital, the surgical team helps you decide based on age, family history, lifestyle, and existing conditions. Evidence supports regular visits to screen for silent conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
In detail
Guidelines recommend periodic screening for specific conditions at defined ages. Blood pressure and BMI yearly. Cholesterol from age twenty, every four to six years. Diabetes from thirty-five if overweight. Colorectal cancer from forty-five to seventy-five. Breast cancer screening from forty to forty-five for women.
Cervical screening from thirty. Lung cancer screening for smokers fifty to eighty. Vaccines such as influenza yearly, pneumococcal, HPV, herpes zoster after fifty, and hepatitis B per risk.
If you have a family history of early heart disease, cancer, or diabetes, earlier or more frequent screening may be advised. A master check-up bundles these efficiently. Your surgeon will review what applies to you and avoid unnecessary tests.
A common belief
Some people get every test every year.
What actually happens
Guidelines do not support that. Too many tests increase false alarms. Your surgeon selects only what guidelines recommend for your profile.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
List your age, family history, lifestyle habits, and any symptoms. Book an OPD consultation at Jaipur Hospital. The surgeon will recommend a package or individual tests. The visit takes two to four hours. Reports in twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Decide with your surgeon if an annual master check-up fits your needs.
Could several medical conditions or medicines be contributing to my symptoms?
In short
Yes, multiple medical conditions and medicines can interact to produce symptoms that no single problem explains. Jaipur Hospital evaluates such complex presentations through a comprehensive review of your diagnoses, prescriptions, and over-the-counter products.
In detail
Polypharmacy and multimorbidity are common, especially in older adults. Medicines for blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and pain can cause side effects like dizziness, fatigue, confusion, or gastrointestinal upset that mimic or worsen underlying diseases.
Drug-drug and drug-disease interactions may alter blood sugar, kidney function, or electrolyte balance. The hospital's general medicine team performs medication reconciliation, checks for duplicate therapy, inappropriate dosing, and interactions using standard references. They also assess whether symptoms align with known adverse effects or indicate a new condition needing investigation.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
Bring a complete list of all medicines, supplements, and herbal products you take, including doses and timing. Note when symptoms started and any recent changes in treatment. The doctor may adjust doses, stop unnecessary drugs, or order targeted tests.
Which symptoms should prompt me to see a specialist?
In short
You should see a specialist if you notice persistent or unexplained changes such as a new lump, unusual bleeding, a cough lasting more than three weeks, unexplained weight loss, changes in bowel or bladder habits, difficulty swallowing, persistent indigestion, or a mole that changes in size, shape or colour. These symptoms may indicate conditions that need targeted evaluation beyond routine screening. Jaipur Hospital offers specialist consultations across relevant departments.
In detail
Screening guidelines focus on asymptomatic people. When symptoms appear, the approach shifts from population screening to diagnostic investigation. For example, a breast lump warrants diagnostic imaging and possible biopsy rather than a routine mammogram alone.
Rectal bleeding or altered bowel habits need colonoscopic evaluation regardless of screening age. A persistent cough or haemoptysis in a smoker may prompt urgent low-dose CT or bronchoscopy beyond standard lung cancer screening criteria.
Unexplained weight loss, night sweats or persistent fever can signal malignancy, infection or endocrine disorders requiring specialist workup. The USPSTF and other bodies emphasise that screening tests are for people without signs or symptoms of the target condition.
A common belief
People often dismiss these as minor or wait for their annual package.
What actually happens
But screening is for healthy people without symptoms. Once a symptom appears, you need a targeted diagnostic workup, which is different from a preventive package.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
If you experience any of these symptoms, do not wait for your next routine check-up. Contact Jaipur Hospital to schedule a specialist appointment. The doctor will take a focused history, examine you and order appropriate diagnostic tests. Early specialist review leads to timely diagnosis and treatment.
How will the results change my care plan?
In short
Results from preventive screening at Jaipur Hospital guide the next steps. Normal results usually mean continuing routine screening at recommended intervals. Abnormal findings may lead to repeat testing, additional diagnostic tests, specialist referral, lifestyle advice, medication initiation or treatment planning. For example, a positive stool test needs timely colonoscopy. An abnormal mammogram may need diagnostic imaging or biopsy. High blood pressure, sugar or cholesterol typically trigger lifestyle counselling and possibly medication.
In detail
Evidence shows early detection through screening reduces mortality for several cancers. However, screening also carries a risk of overdiagnosis and false positives. A positive screening test is not a diagnosis; it triggers a diagnostic pathway. For colorectal screening, any positive non-colonoscopy test requires follow-up colonoscopy.
For breast screening, abnormal imaging leads to diagnostic mammography, ultrasound or biopsy. For cervical screening, abnormal Pap or HPV results guide colposcopy or repeat testing intervals. Elevated cardiovascular risk factors prompt risk calculation and management per guidelines. The doctor integrates all results, your overall health and preferences to create a personalised plan.
A common belief
Many people panic over an abnormal screening result.
What actually happens
But screening tests are designed to be sensitive, so false positives happen. The key is timely follow-up, not worry. Overdiagnosis is a known risk, which is why guidelines balance benefits and harms.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
You will receive reports in 24 to 48 hours. The doctor will explain each result and recommend actions: repeat intervals, further tests, specialist referrals, lifestyle changes or treatment. Some findings need urgent follow-up; others need monitoring.
What should I do if symptoms persist or worsen after a preventive health check-up?
In short
A preventive health check-up at Jaipur Hospital is a screening visit, not a treatment. If you have existing symptoms that persist or worsen after the check-up, contact your surgeon or the OPD promptly for a clinical review. Do not wait for the next scheduled screening.
In detail
Screening tests are designed to detect risk factors or early disease in people without symptoms. If you already have symptoms, they need diagnostic evaluation, not just screening.
Evidence shows that high blood pressure, high blood sugar, and high cholesterol may not cause symptoms in early stages, but once symptoms appear, they require timely medical assessment. The check-up reports are available in twenty-four to forty-eight hours.
Any abnormal finding will be flagged for further investigation. Your surgeon will guide you on whether you need additional tests, a specialist referral, or immediate treatment based on the findings and your clinical picture.
A common belief
Some people think a normal screening report means symptoms can be ignored.
What actually happens
Screening can miss active disease, and symptoms always need clinical evaluation.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
Collect your reports within forty-eight hours. If symptoms worsen before or after receiving reports, visit the OPD or call the hospital. Keep a record of your symptoms and any medications. Your surgeon will review the results and advise a plan.
Which tests are useful, and which might not be necessary for me?
In short
Useful tests are those recommended by guidelines for your age, sex, and risk factors. At Jaipur Hospital, the surgical team selects tests from packages such as Executive Health Check-up, Cancer Screening Panel, and Cardiac Risk Assessment based on your profile. Tests not supported by evidence for your situation are not routinely advised.
In detail
Evidence defines appropriate screening intervals and target groups. Yearly blood pressure and BMI checks are broadly useful. Cholesterol every four to six years from age twenty, more often with diabetes or heart disease. Diabetes screening every three years from thirty-five if overweight.
Mammography every one to two years from forty to seventy-four. Pap or HPV co-testing every five years from thirty to sixty-five. Colorectal screening options include yearly FIT, colonoscopy every ten years, or CT colonography every five years from forty-five to seventy-five.
Low-dose CT lung screening only for fifty to eighty with twenty pack-year smoking history. Routine clinical breast examination is not recommended for average-risk women. PSA and CA-125 are not universally recommended without risk discussion. Your surgeon will avoid tests where harms such as false positives or overdiagnosis outweigh benefits.
A common belief
Many packages include every test.
What actually happens
More tests can mean more false alarms and overdiagnosis. Your surgeon chooses only what guidelines support for you.
Your next step at Jaipur Hospital
Discuss your personal and family history with your surgeon at the OPD. The team will recommend only guideline-based tests. The visit takes two to four hours. Reports come in twenty-four to forty-eight hours. Avoid unnecessary tests and focus on what matters for you.

Overview
Preventive Health and Screening: what to know
What preventive health check-ups and screening are
Preventive health check-ups are planned visits to your doctor when you feel well. The purpose of these visits is to screen for medical issues before they cause symptoms. Even if you feel fine, you should still see your provider for regular check-ups because these visits can help you avoid problems in the future.
At Jaipur Hospital, a full package usually takes 2 to 4 hours and is done as an outpatient visit. No anaesthesia is needed and you can return to your routine immediately. Reports are typically ready in 24 to 48 hours.
The hospital offers several types of packages.
An Executive Health Check-up includes:
- Complete blood count
- Lipid profile
- Blood sugar
- Liver and kidney function tests
- Thyroid profile
- ECG
- Chest X-ray
- Ultrasound of the abdomen
Cancer screening panels may include PSA, CA-125, mammography, Pap smear and low-dose CT chest as per guidelines. A Cardiac Risk Assessment covers a treadmill test, 2D echocardiography, lipid profile, high-sensitivity CRP and coronary calcium scoring. Adult vaccination covers influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis B, HPV and herpes zoster vaccines.
Warning signs that need a doctor the same day
- Chest pain, sudden breathlessness or fainting
- Heavy bleeding from any site
- Sudden severe headache unlike any before
A preventive check-up is not for urgent symptoms. If you have any of the following, go to the emergency department at Jaipur Hospital or call 0141-2551500 straight away:
- Chest pain, sudden breathlessness or fainting
- Sudden weakness or numbness on one side of the body, slurred speech or confusion
- Severe abdominal pain that does not settle
- Heavy bleeding from any site
- High fever with stiff neck, rash or difficulty breathing
- Sudden severe headache unlike any you have had before
These are not screening findings; they need immediate medical attention. The hospital runs a 24×7 emergency department and ambulance service.
Why screening is needed and who is at higher risk
- Age 45 to 75 Colorectal cancer
- Age 45 (option 40 to 44) Breast cancer (mammography)
- Age 35 Diabetes (if overweight)
- Age 50 to 80, 20 pack-year history Lung cancer (low-dose CT)
Many conditions such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol may not have any symptoms in the early stages. A simple blood test can check for these conditions. Screening aims to find disease early when treatment works better.
Age and personal history guide who should be screened and when. For colorectal cancer, average-risk adults should start screening at age 45 and continue to age 75. For breast cancer, women at average risk should start regular mammography at age 45, with the option to begin between 40 and 44.
Women should continue as long as their overall health is good and life expectancy is 10 years or more. For diabetes, screening should start at age 35 if you are overweight or have obesity.
If you have a strong family history of colon cancer or polyps, or a history of inflammatory bowel disease, screening may need to start earlier and be done more often. Similar considerations apply for diabetes if you have a first-degree relative with diabetes, high blood pressure, prediabetes, heart disease or a history of diabetes during pregnancy.
For osteoporosis, risk factors include:
- Long-term steroid use
- Low body weight
- Smoking
- Heavy alcohol use
- A fracture after age 50
- A family history of hip fracture
For lung cancer, annual low-dose CT is recommended if you are aged 50 to 80, have a 20 pack-year smoking history and currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years.
Vaccine hesitancy is a recognised term describing a continuum between accepting all vaccines and accepting none. Determinants are complex and context-specific, varying across time, place and vaccines. Common barriers include low perceived risk of the disease, low worry about the disease, inconvenience and lack of confidence due to misinformation. Some people calculate risks and benefits based on their own evaluation.
Influenza vaccine effectiveness varies annually and is frequently low, and annual vaccination is required. Most deaths from influenza occur among very young children, the elderly and chronically ill patients.
How screening and check-ups are done at Jaipur Hospital
- Measurements Blood pressure, height, weight, BMI
- History and exam Medical history, diet, exercise, mental health, skin check
- Blood tests CBC, sugar, lipids, liver, kidney, thyroid, other markers
- Results and next steps Doctor explains findings, suggests lifestyle changes, repeat tests, referral or treatment
When you book a preventive health package, our team will guide you through the steps. The visit usually includes measurement of blood pressure, height, weight and body mass index. A doctor will ask about your medical history, diet, exercise, and any symptoms of depression or anxiety.
A physical examination may include a skin check for signs of skin cancer, especially if you are at high risk.
Blood tests are drawn for:
- Complete blood count
- Sugar
- Lipids
- Liver and kidney function
- Thyroid
- Other markers depending on the package
Imaging may include chest X-ray, ultrasound abdomen, ECG, treadmill test, 2D echocardiography or low-dose CT chest as indicated. For women, mammography and Pap smear are offered as per age guidelines. For men, PSA testing is available. All positive results on non-colonoscopy stool tests should be followed up with timely colonoscopy.
Vaccination status is reviewed. Influenza vaccine is recommended annually. COVID-19 vaccine is recommended for all people aged 6 months and older. Shingles vaccine is given as 2 doses at or after age 50. Pneumococcal, hepatitis B and HPV vaccines are offered based on age and risk factors. Your doctor will advise which vaccines suit you.
Reports are typically available in 24 to 48 hours. A doctor will explain the findings and suggest next steps, which may include lifestyle advice, repeat testing, specialist referral or treatment.
Non-surgical options and when surgery may be advised
- Precancerous polyp
- Removed during colonoscopy
- Early-stage cancer
- Surgery for cancer found through screening
- Significant heart blockages
- Coronary artery bypass grafting
Preventive health check-ups and screening are non-surgical by nature. The main interventions are lifestyle changes, medicines to control risk factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol or blood sugar, and vaccinations.
If a screening test finds an abnormality, the next step is usually further testing or a specialist opinion, not immediate surgery. For example, a positive stool test for colorectal cancer leads to a colonoscopy. A suspicious breast lump on mammography leads to further imaging or biopsy. An abnormal Pap smear leads to colposcopy. Coronary calcium scoring or a positive treadmill test may lead to a cardiology review and possible angiography.
Surgery is advised only when a confirmed diagnosis requires it, such as removal of a precancerous polyp during colonoscopy, surgery for early-stage cancer found through screening, or coronary artery bypass grafting for significant blockages. Your surgeon will discuss the reasons, options and what to expect. Jaipur Hospital has modular operation theatres and an intensive care unit for such procedures.
The typical price range for a basic preventive package is ₹3,000 to ₹10,000. Executive or cardiac packages typically range from ₹15,000 to ₹50,000. The final cost depends on the tests included. Ask us for an estimate. The hospital accepts RGHS, MAA Yojana, CGHS and a panel of private insurers and TPAs.
Preparing for a preventive health check-up at Jaipur Hospital
Do
- Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes
- Drink plain water during the fast
- Ask doctor about morning diabetes dose
You do not need anaesthesia or hospital admission for a preventive health check-up. The visit usually takes 2 to 4 hours and you go home the same day. Wear comfortable clothes and flat shoes. Bring a list of all medicines and supplements you take, including any blood thinners or diabetes tablets.
If you have old reports, prescriptions or a vaccination card, carry them along. Your doctor may ask you to stop certain medicines for a short time before blood tests; discuss this at your OPD visit. For most packages you need to fast for 8 to 10 hours overnight. You may drink plain water during the fast.
If you are diabetic, ask your doctor how to manage your morning dose on the day of the check-up. An attendant can wait in the canteen area while you complete the tests.
How a preventive health check-up is done at Jaipur Hospital
Your surgeon will advise which package suits your age, risk factors and medical history.
The Executive Health Check-up covers:
- CBC
- Lipid
- Sugar
- Liver
- Kidney
- Thyroid
- ECG
- Chest X-ray
- USG abdomen
The Cancer Screening Panel adds PSA, CA-125, mammography, Pap smear and LDCT chest as per guidelines. The Cardiac Risk Assessment includes TMT, 2D Echo, lipid profile, Hs-CRP and coronary calcium scoring. Adult Vaccination covers influenza, pneumococcal, hepatitis B, HPV and herpes zoster. All tests are done in the in-house laboratory and radiology department. Reports are usually ready in 24 to 48 hours.
Risks and possible complications of preventive health screening
- 11% to 19% Breast cancer overdiagnosis
- When screening starts younger False positives more common
Preventive health check-ups involve routine blood tests, imaging and physical examinations that are standard, non-invasive and conducted under expert medical supervision. The procedures themselves are safe. Blood draws may cause brief discomfort or a small bruise. Some people feel faint during or after the blood test; tell the nurse if this happens.
Screening tests can sometimes give a false-positive result, which means the test suggests a problem when there is none. This can lead to extra tests and worry. Overdiagnosis is also possible: a screening test may find a condition that would never have caused symptoms or harm in your lifetime.
In studies of breast cancer screening, estimates of overdiagnosis range from 11% to 19% of cancers diagnosed during the screening period. False-positive results are more common when screening starts at younger ages because more tests are done over time. Your doctor will discuss the chance of false positives and overdiagnosis before you decide on a screening panel.
Vaccines given during the visit may cause:
- Soreness at the injection site
- Mild fever
- Tiredness for a day or two
Serious allergic reactions are very rare. If you have a known allergy to any vaccine component, inform the doctor beforehand.
Recovery and aftercare after a preventive health check-up
There is no recovery period. You can return to your normal routine immediately after the tests. If you fasted, eat a light meal before you leave or soon after. Drink plenty of water. Reports are typically available in 24 to 48 hours. You can collect them from the hospital or access them online if the facility offers a portal.
A follow-up consultation is scheduled to go through the results. If any value is outside the normal range, your doctor will explain what it means and whether you need further tests, a specialist referral or lifestyle changes. For vaccinations, keep the injection site clean and dry. Paracetamol can be taken for fever or soreness if your doctor agrees.
Contact the hospital if you develop:
- High fever
- Swelling that worsens after 24 hours
- A rash
- Difficulty breathing
- Any other symptom that concerns you
The emergency department and ambulance service are available 24 hours a day.
How well preventive health check-ups work: evidence from studies
- 20% Breast cancer mortality reduction Relative risk reduction in women invited to screening
- 43 deaths prevented, 129 overdiagnosed Breast cancer outcomes per 10,000 women Over 20 years from age 50
- significant decreases HPV vaccination impact HPV 16 and 18 prevalence and anogenital warts in vaccinated groups
Regular check-ups help find high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high cholesterol before they cause symptoms. A simple blood test can check for these conditions. In studies, screening mammography in women aged 40 to 69 years is associated with a reduction in breast cancer deaths.
A meta-analysis of 11 randomised trials found a relative risk reduction of 20% in breast cancer mortality for women invited to screening compared with controls. For every 10,000 UK women aged 50 years invited to screening for 20 years, 43 deaths from breast cancer would be prevented and 129 cases would be overdiagnosed.
Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer diagnosed among adults and the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Screening for colorectal cancer starting at age 45 for average-risk adults reduces mortality.
Low-dose CT screening for lung cancer in people aged 50 to 80 with a 20 pack-year smoking history who currently smoke or quit within the past 15 years reduces lung cancer deaths. HPV vaccination has led to significant decreases in HPV 16 and 18 prevalence and in anogenital wart diagnoses in vaccinated age groups.
Influenza vaccination is recommended annually because vaccine effectiveness varies each year and protection wanes. Most deaths associated with influenza occur among very young children, the elderly and chronically ill patients. Vaccine uptake remains low in many risk groups. Your doctor will help you choose the screening tests and vaccines that match your age, sex and risk profile.
Cost and insurance for preventive health check-ups in Jaipur
A basic preventive health package typically costs ₹3,000 to ₹10,000. Executive or cardiac packages typically cost ₹15,000 to ₹50,000. The final amount depends on the number and type of tests, the imaging studies included and whether vaccinations are given. Jaipur Hospital is a NABH-accredited multispeciality hospital established in February 1991.
It accepts:
- RGHS
- MAA Yojana
- CGHS
- A panel of private insurers and TPAs
Coverage for preventive health check-ups varies by scheme and policy; some plans cover a defined package once a year while others reimburse only specific tests. Ask our team or your TPA what your plan includes before you book. The hospital has an in-house pharmacy, diagnostic laboratory and radiology department, so all tests and vaccinations are done on the same premises. You can request an estimate for your chosen package when you schedule the appointment.
