Gentle Reminders

Fasting before a health screening

  • Fasting ensures accurate blood specimen tests for glucose and cholesterol level.
  • Please make sure you do not consume any food or beverages (except plain water) 8 hours before your health screening appointment.
  • You will be served light refreshments after the blood specimens have been taken.

Preparing for a mammogram

  • You are advised to avoid this examination if you are pregnant or during periods when your breasts are tender (e.g. before your period).
  • Your appointment should ideally be scheduled one week after the last day of your period in order to achieve the best mammogram result.
  • Do not use talcum powder or deodorant before your examination.
  • Bring along previous mammogram films (if any).

Preparing for a Pap Smear

  • Please make an appointment around Day 10-14 of your menstrual cycle to allow for accurate result. This is about one week after the last day of your period.

What to bring for your appointment

  • NRIC
  • Work Permit / Employment Pass or Passport (for non-residents)
  • Past medical records, recent X-rays, laboratory results and current medication (if applicable)
