Why Prevention?

The cost of medical insurance as well as the cost of quality treatment today is prohibitive. Yet, when the need arises, purse strings have to be loosened without second thought.

Don’t you think this money could be well spent elsewhere? If regular and thorough preventive checkups are conducted at fixed intervals, the chances of a medical surprise are greatly diminished.

Indus Health Plus- the preventive check up specialists, have educated huge numbers of people about the need for such check ups over the last six years. In fact over 86,000 people have undergone these tests.

At Indus, we specialize in the cardiac CT scan for several reasons. The most important one is that almost the only illness that can kill before you get help is a heart attack. For most other situations you have time to react. There is no second chance for almost 50% of victims.

Most heart attacks occur without prior symptoms , so many of those afflicted do not even know they are having a heart attack. Secondly, this is relatively new technology, is non invasive and painless, hence a great boon in diagnostics.

Asymptomatic people are best chosen for these check ups for many reasons. By making a choice to go for a check up on your own and choosing your own diagnostic center, you keep control in your own hands. IF, the need arises, you can then consult with your doctor or specialist for further action.

By the act of undertaking a checkup, you would also have a detailed medical record created while you were healthy. This can be very useful as a reference if something were to go wrong later.
With today’s technology in the lab, chances of a problem escaping unnoticed are very small. Prevention, not just early detection becomes a mantra.
