Why Should We Screen?
Sometimes, our body might feel well, even when it's not. Here's how getting regularly screened can empower us:
Take Control Of Our Health
Allow detection of particular conditions when there are no symptoms and/or signs, even when you feel physically well. Early detection followed by treatment and good control of conditions can result in better outcomes.
Manage Conditions Better
Regular screening can help detect these conditions early before they progress, reducing your risk of complications and financial strain.
Gain Peace Of Mind
Knowing is better than constantly living in the dark. Screening allows us to truly be aware of our health status, so we can continue living in peace with our loved ones.

What is Health Screening
What do we really know about screening? Watch Syirah as she goes for her first screening test and gets common myths debunked!
Debunking 3 myths about screening
Myth 1: Screening is expensive
Health screening need not be costly. If you are eligible for Healthier SG Screening programme, you can do your screening tests for cardiovascular risk, colorectal and cervical cancers at $5 or lower at participating CHAS GP clinics. This fixed fee includes screening tests done within the same visit, screening visit consultation, and the first follow-up consultation (if needed).
For eligible Singapore Citizens who are enrolled with Healthier SG, you will enjoy special subsidies for Healthier SG Screening at your enrolled Healthier SG clinic. You can check with your enrolled Healthier SG clinic when your recommended screening is due.
Breast cancer screening services under Healthier SG Screening are offered at selected polyclinic at these rates: $25 for Pioneer Generation, $37.50 for Merdeka Generation, $50 for Singapore Citizens and $75 for Permanent Residents.
Myth 2: I feel fine, so I am fine.
Many of us believe that health screening is only for people who are sick or have a family history of illness. It’s not true. Screening enables you to find out if you have a particular condition even if you feel perfectly well, without any symptoms and/or signs. It also helps us to identify risk factors for certain conditions. In fact, the best time to go for screening is when you still feel fine.
Myth 3: The less I know, the better
You may not go for screening because of fear from potentially bad results, as bad results would lead to high cost of treatment, change in lifestyle, impact on employment. The truth is that screening actually helps because early detection prevents or delays serious complications which can cause serious financial and emotional strain on you and your family.
The bottomline: going for health screening gives you the peace of mind and more control of your health.
