Affordable Health Screening | Health Check Up

Professional Health Screening Services

Health Screening Solutions (HSS) offers affordable yet highly advanced preventive medical assessments for adults. Our advanced diagnostic equipment, managed by highly specialised staff, allows us to perform sophisticated diagnostic and medical tests. Many illnesses such as cardio-vascular disease, stroke, cancer, liver and kidney disease and neurological disorders can be prevented and successfully treated if diagnosed early.

HSS offers a comprehensive full body MRI scan, which is a non-invasive method to determine any abnormalities and detect early signs of developing illness. For a more detailed screening, we supplement MRI scans with comprehensive blood tests. A medical check-up would not be complete without an oral health examination. Every HSS health screening package includes a complete dental examination including cosmetic dentistry and implant consultations.

Our state of the art medical and dental clinics are based in Krakow in Poland, which was named “the second most amazing city in the world” by The Guardian in 2008. We provide all-inclusive short-break packages for our patients which include hotel accommodation, taxi transfers, MRI scans, comprehensive blood tests and dental and implantology examinations.

The MRI is among the safest diagnostic tools available

Millions of patients around the world undergo an MRI examination every year. Specialists agree that the MRI is a very safe procedure as long as appropriate precautions are taken. No pain is felt during the procedure and there are hardly any side effects. Unlike with CT scanners, no radiation is produced during the MRI scanning. The MRI is a versatile diagnostic tool and can be used to examine almost every part of the body.

Adults over 45 years of age should consider health screening

Health professionals suggest that adults over the age of 45 should periodically have thorough medical check ups. This is because from 45 onwards, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers gradually become more common. While there are health screening programmes available on the National Health Service, priority is given to patients at risk. Private medical check ups are the alternative and can be done for almost everyone.

WHO supports cancer screenings

The World Health Organisation states that cancer screening tests should aim to ensure that as few as possible with the disease get through undetected. The WHO also states that, “Screening that concentrates solely on a high-risk group is rarely justified”. This is because the groups identified as being potentially high-risk represent just a small percentage of those who might become affected by cancer.

Early detection is vital

The chances of curing or preventing the development of serious illnesses such as cancer and heart, liver and kidney disease increase significantly if discovered at an early stage. Unfortunately, many illnesses, including cancer, Hepatitis C and heart disorders are almost symptomless. We would usually seek the help of a GP when the symptoms of an illness become obvious. Regular health screenings help to discover any abnormalities early, increasing the effectiveness of any necessary treatment.
