Children's Basic Check-Up

Our Children Basic Check-Up provides a comprehensive assessment of your child’s overall health, growth, and development. The check-up begins with a consultation with one of our experienced doctors, who will review your child’s medical history, discuss any concerns you may have, and provide guidance on their wellbeing. This is followed by a detailed head-to-toe physical examination to assess your child’s general health and monitor key growth and developmental milestones. The screening also includes developmental assessments to ensure your child is progressing appropriately for their age, as well as a review of their vaccination history to confirm that immunisations are up to date.

To provide a deeper understanding of your child’s health, the check-up includes anaemia screening and a stool examination to detect potential infections or parasites that may affect their wellbeing. A comprehensive blood test is also performed to evaluate important health markers such as haematology, kidney and liver function, metabolic health, cholesterol, iron levels, and bone health indicators. Together, these assessments provide a detailed overview of your child’s health, helping identify potential concerns early while giving parents reassurance and clear guidance on supporting their child’s development.

What is included in a Children’s Health Check?

A children’s health check typically includes a consultation with a doctor, a full physical examination, developmental screening, and diagnostic tests such as blood tests or stool examinations. These assessments help evaluate your child’s growth, overall health, and development while identifying potential concerns early.

Why are regular health checks important for children?

Regular health checks help monitor your child’s physical growth, development, and general wellbeing. They allow doctors to detect potential health issues such as nutritional deficiencies, infections, or developmental delays at an early stage, enabling timely treatment and support.

At what age should children have regular health check-ups?

Children can benefit from routine health assessments from infancy through adolescence. Regular check-ups allow clinicians to track developmental milestones, monitor growth, and ensure your child remains healthy as they progress through different stages of development.

Do children need to prepare for blood tests?

In most cases, children do not need special preparation for blood tests, although certain tests may require fasting. Our clinical team will provide clear instructions before the appointment if any preparation is necessary.

What happens after the health check is completed?

Once the tests and examinations are completed, the doctor will review the results with you and provide guidance on your child’s health and development. If any concerns are identified, further advice, treatment, or follow-up appointments may be recommended to support your child’s wellbeing.
