Master Health Checkup

A Master Health Checkup is a complete package of diagnostic tests designed to evaluate overall health. Unlike single investigations that focus on one condition, this package provides a broad overview of how well major organs and systems are functioning. It includes routine blood, urine, and imaging tests that check the status of the heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, and metabolic functions.

A master health checkup is particularly recommended for adults above 30 years, people with busy and stressful lifestyles, or those who have a family history of chronic illnesses like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease. Even healthy individuals benefit, as the checkup establishes baseline records that can be compared during future visits. Regular monitoring ensures that potential problems are detected at an early stage, when they are easier to manage.

A master health checkup in Bangalore costs about 2000-4000 INR.
