Preventive Medicine
 Preventive
medicine is the key to healthy living. Today,
medicine aims to anticipate and attend illnesses
before they endanger your well-being. Hospital
Metropolitano’s firm belief in the
concept of preventive medicine spurred it
to create MedicalControls; a series of corporate
and family medical checkup plans designed
to detect sicknesses before their symptoms
appear. Carefully selected tests and highly
skilled personnel search for any change
in the body that may indicate the onset
of an illness or even one’s predisposition
to certain types of diseases or ailments,
so that whatever’s wrong may be corrected
before it threatens your health. Specialized
medical personnel, rigorous laboratory analyses
and imaging diagnosis put Hospital Metropolitano’s
MedicalControls physical exams above the
rest.
Advantages of Preventive
Medicine
What are the benefits
of regular medical checkups? Undergoing
routine physical exams, especially while
you are healthy, permits your doctor to
discover problems before they jeopardize
your health. People that attend regularly
scheduled exams have a distinct advantage
over people that only go to the doctor when
they are sick. Regular medical checks tend
to be more complete because they do not
focus on symptoms associated with the illness
that the patient is suffering from. Medical
exams performed while you are healthy allow
doctors to prevent problems that have not
yet arisen or that are early in their gestation.
Addressing medical problems before they
surface significantly increases the probability
of curing them. Also, preventive treatment
usually costs only a fraction of what hospitalization
or other post-illness treatments cost.
Hospital Metropolitano
understands that one size does not fit all.
Everyone’s got different medical needs,
therefore, Hospital Metropolitano offers
five complete medical checkup plans: executive,
ambulatory, occupational (corporate), student
and sport. Choose the plan that’s
best for you.
Within each of the five
plans, each medical checkup is even further
customized according to the sex, age, medical
history and physical condition of each patient.
