FAQs
Early detection refers to identifying chronic diseases at their initial stages before they develop into more severe or complicated health issues. This can involve routine screenings, assessments, and monitoring of risk factors.
Early detection allows for timely interventions, which can significantly improve outcomes, reduce complications, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with chronic diseases. It can also lead to lower healthcare costs over time.
Common chronic diseases that benefit from early detection include diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, chronic respiratory diseases, and certain cancers.
Recommended screening tests may include blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests, blood glucose tests, mammograms, colonoscopies, and lung function tests, depending on your age, gender, and risk factors.
