In today’s modern age, our lifestyle, daily stresses and environmental factors can lead to new health issues not experienced by previous generations. Early medical checks are essential to avoid any health issues getting progressively worse and complications setting in. PDO has suffered ten deaths from medical conditions since the start of the year and some were due to chronic medical conditions that if detected and treated may have saved their lives.

If your blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol are abnormally high then you might need medication and changes to your lifestyle to cope. Serious medical condition such as cancers can remain dormant for years but can also be discovered during routine checkups. Six people in PDO benefited from early diagnosis of their cancer, underlining the importance of looking after your health and attending a medical check-up.

To reflect the importance of adopting this good practice, periodic medical check-ups are now compulsory. It is even more important if you are Iinterior based as the hospital can be a long way away when you need it most. We would like everyone to be proactive and book your medical check through the MAF or any of the Interior clinics. Don’t rely on a reminder as the old system is being upgraded and is out of action.
Spread the word with your friends and colleagues and get booked into a medical and look after for your health.
