Health Screening in Singapore: How to Choose the Right Tests and Packages for Your Needs

Published on 15 May 2025

When it comes to health screening in Singapore, the question we hear most often is: “Which tests do I really need?” or “What health screening package should I go for?”

With dozens of packages on the market—ranging from basic blood tests to in-depth executive health screenings—choosing the right option can be overwhelming. Some may cost under $100, while others exceed $1000. So how do you know what’s right for you?

At HOP Singapore, our mission is to make preventive healthcare accessible, personalised, and empowering. Whether you’re a working professional, senior, or business looking to support your employees, this guide will help you navigate the key types of health screening tests available—and how to choose the most suitable package.

Do More Tests Mean Better Health Screening?

Not necessarily. While it’s tempting to opt for every test available “just in case,” more tests don’t always mean better insights—and may even cause undue stress or cost.

Some advanced tests (like cancer markers) may yield false positives, triggering unnecessary follow-ups and anxiety. That’s why at HOP Singapore, we guide you to only the most relevant tests, based on your age, gender, lifestyle, and medical history.

Consult your doctor first if you have existing health concerns or a family history of disease. A brief discussion can help you avoid over-testing and focus your resources where they matter most.

Essential Health Screening Tests in Singapore

No matter which health screening package in Singapore you choose, make sure it covers these core diseases and conditions:

1. Diabetes

Affects 1 in 3 Singaporeans. Can lead to blindness, kidney failure, and heart complications.
➡️ Test: Fasting Blood Glucose or HbA1c

2. High Cholesterol

Elevated cholesterol increases risk of stroke and heart attack.
➡️ Test: Lipid Profile (fasting or non-fasting)
