Pinetree Medical Clinic Pte Ltd - Singapore, Singapore

Health screening is a cornerstone in the primary prevention of diseases. Risk factors are identified and treated early to prevent development of more serious conditions like a stroke or a heart attack.



We have health screening packages that range from the basic to the comprehensive.



For most individuals, a basic health screen comprising of a cholesterol, blood glucose, liver, kidney, full blood count and urine test will suffice. Along with a physical examination, this should pick up common conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes/pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, early kidney disease and fatty liver.



More detailed blood work would include tumour markers, thyroid hormones, hepatitis markers and autoimmune markers.



We have an ECG machine for basic heart screening.



Specialized radiological investigations are also available to our patients. These include the dexa scan to screen for osteoporosis, CT coronary angiograms to screen for coronary artery disease, MRI stroke screen to screen for cerebral blood vessel/brain abnormalities as well as vanilla CTs and MRIs of various body parts.



As we believe that all health screening should be individualized. Do get in touch with us if you have any enquires.

Vaccinations are an important component of primary health care. Here we discuss some vaccines that are of public health importance.



Flu vaccination



The influenza virus is a virus that can cause symptoms attributable to the common cold. However, there are risks of complications in those at risk.



At risk individuals would include both the very young and very old, those with chronic heart and lung conditions as well as pregnant women.

Common complications would include pneumonia, bronchitis and middle ear infections.

Those at risk are able to use their medisave to pay for their annual flu immunisation.

We highly recommend that all individuals receive an annual flu vaccination.



Pneumococcal vaccination



Pneumococcal vaccination is to protect against infections caused by the pneumococcus bacterium. This bacterium can cause pneumonia, middle ear infections as well as infection of the brain lining; the meninges.



Currently, it is part of Singapore’s national childhood immunisation program. All children born in Singapore should have received a total of three doses of the vaccine.



Adults above the age of sixty-five as well as those with chronic heart and lung conditions are at higher risk of infection. As such it is recommended that such individuals consider taking this vaccine.



Those at risk will be able to use their medisave to pay for this vaccine.



Cervical cancer vaccination



The human papilloma virus (HPV) is a virus that not only causes genital warts in both males and females, but can also cause cancers of the cervix, external genitalia and anus in both sexes.



In Singapore, the cervical cancer vaccine of which there are currently three varieties on the market is currently licenced for use in females aged 9 to 26 years of age.
