“I don’t have time.” “I hate fasting.” “Health screenings are too complicated.” Sound familiar? These common excuses keep many Singaporeans from getting potentially life-saving health checks. But what if you could complete a comprehensive health screening in just 30 minutes, without skipping breakfast, and still get accurate results? At HOP Medical Centre, we’ve reimagined health screening to fit your busy lifestyle, not the other way around.

Why Regular Health Screenings Matter

Regular health screenings are essential preventive measures that help detect potential health issues before they manifest as serious conditions. Early detection of diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol can significantly improve treatment outcomes and quality of life.

According to the Singapore Ministry of Health, regular health screenings are recommended for:

• Adults aged 18-39: Once every 3 years
• Adults aged 40 and above: Annually

These recommendations highlight the importance of making health screenings a regular part of your healthcare routine, regardless of age or perceived health status.

The HOP Medical Centre Difference: Express Health Screening

At HOP Medical Centre, we understand that time is precious. That’s why we’ve designed our Express Health Screening packages to be quick, efficient, and hassle-free.

Complete Your Screening in Just 30 Minutes!

Unlike traditional health screenings that may take hours, our express packages are designed to be completed in just 30 minutes. This means you can fit your health screening into even the busiest of schedules—during lunch breaks, before work, or on your way to weekend activities.

No Fasting Required

One of the most inconvenient aspects of traditional health screenings is the requirement to fast beforehand. At HOP Medical Centre, we’ve eliminated this requirement for our Express Health Screening packages.

Our non-fasting tests are just as accurate as fasting ones, with numerous studies confirming no significant variation in blood cholesterol levels between fasting and non-fasting samples. For diabetes screening, we use HbA1c, which provides an accurate picture of your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, regardless of when you last ate.

This means you can:

• Have a light breakfast before your screening
• Attend screenings in the afternoon
• Continue with your regular medication (except diabetic medication)
• Avoid the discomfort and inconvenience of fasting

Frequently Asked Questions About Express Health Screenings

What do I need to prepare for my health screening?

No fasting is required for our Express Health Screening packages. You may continue to take your medication as directed by your doctor (except diabetic medication). Please bring along your NRIC/Work Permit/Passport for verification.

Are the results of non-fasting health screening accurate?

Yes, absolutely. Research has shown that non-fasting blood tests are just as accurate as fasting tests for most health parameters. For cholesterol levels, the difference between fasting and non-fasting results is minimal and doesn’t affect clinical decisions. For diabetes screening, we use HbA1c, which provides an accurate assessment regardless of recent food intake.

What happens if I am unable to provide urine/stool samples on screening day?

You may submit your sample(s) another day at your convenience either at our Orchard or Tampines branch. Kindly note that we do provide delivery of Urine/Stool containers prior to your appointment. You may however collect Urine/Stool containers at the clinic beforehand during operating hours if preferred.

Can I add more tests to my chosen package?

Yes, additional tests such as ultrasound, X-ray, mammogram, or ECG can be added to any package for an additional fee. Our staff can provide you with pricing information for these add-on services.
