Medical City’s complete health testing and personalized packages have brought about a paradigm shift in the way healthcare is delivered across the country, encouraging a holistic approach to health for people of all ages.
Regular checkups are vital to overall fitness and health. This can facilitate early treatment, detect disease before it becomes more advanced, and help check for underlying health problems.
“In the past, a lot of people thought they only needed to be tested if they thought there was a problem,” says Dr. Christian Flores, director of the Medical City Health and Beauty Institute (WAI). “This also covers people who are hesitant to consult a health professional and wait until it’s too late and the condition may have become serious.”
A Paradigm Shift From Reactive to Active Healthcare Systems
While that may be the case, Dr. Flores said more people are being tested more aggressively. Especially today with lifestyle diseases like cancer or diabetes starting to affect young people. If there is a health concern, the facility is ready to provide intervention, including monitoring and treatment by dedicated and skilled physicians who are leaders in their fields. This can help clients make healthy lifestyle changes to avoid further complications.
“No matter what stage of your health you are, whether you’re really in peak health or whether you have risk factors, you can get guidance and advice early on,” adds Flores.
Personalized Healthcare for All Ages
WAI provides services that make it easy for patients to take control of their health. “The most common ones are screening programs across age groups – pediatrics, adolescence, youth to geriatrics. It’s a set of services offered as different packages that are really designed to address certain conditions that are prevalent in a particular age group,” Flores explained road.
The Basic Package is designed for men and women aged 19 to 39. This includes screening clients for their metabolic status, checking how the body processes blood sugar, protein and cholesterol, as well as lung x-rays and heart tests.
For middle-aged men in their 40s and older, there are screening packages that include an evaluation of their prostate or urinary tract. For middle-aged women, certain tests are included, such as breast exams, ultrasounds, and Pap smears. This is on top of the already very comprehensive base package.
For older clients, the screening program includes a frailty assessment and a cognitive assessment, in addition to blood tests to check sugar, protein and cholesterol levels.
For children, especially those who are active in sports, there are health screening packages to help them get fit and, as mental health challenges are prevalent at this impressionable age, WAI also offers counseling services to address their psychological health problems. Those looking to bloom in time for their debut can take advantage of makeover packages, which include dental, dermatologist and nutritionist consultations as well as routine testing.
Revolutionary digital medical services
WAI has a digital database, so customers already have a clinical summary that they can present to their doctor. This includes a comprehensive medical history, height and weight, physical examination and laboratory test results, and a list of recommended physicians to see. This information is updated on the electronic medical record (EMR) each time they come in for an exam. According to Dr. Flores, this allows them to track their progress and results. “Medical analytics help us find ways to further optimize their health through the results of diagnostic tests and lifestyle changes. When patients later want to customize their packaging, that’s what we use to design the packaging.”
In addition to health preservation, Medical City also provides beauty intervention and lifestyle management
Aesthetics is another area where clients can prioritize wellness. “It’s been recognized that how you look does play an important role in overall self-care. Wellness is also about what’s on the inside, as well as confidence that comes from the outside. We really offer a suite of services to accommodate this. WAI really provides enhancement Services for interior function and appearance—all in one facility. We believe aesthetics can complement a person’s overall wellbeing.”
The institute’s new program Lifestyle Medicine, launched last year, is a medical intervention program aimed at addressing risk factors identified in screening programs such as performing screenings.
“One of our strengths is that we have excellent links with doctors and specialists in Medical City. We also have a lifestyle intervention program which is usually recommended after an initial assessment or preventive health check for those with diabetes or high cholesterol People with borderline findings such as health conditions to help them manage their medical conditions.Because we promote a holistic approach to wellness, we have a wide variety of support programs and complementary procedures such as acupuncture and Ventosa cupping, massage therapy, and stress management life coaching,” explained Dr. Flores.
WAI aspires to be a guiding light for health and lifestyle change. Within one institute, all programs including preventive, lifestyle medicine and aesthetic interventions are tailored to suit each patient’s health needs and unique characteristics. No matter what stage a person is in life, WAI’s program Can be adjusted to suit each client’s needs.
