Importance of Regular Health Examination

Health Examination importance

A regular health examination is important because it is used to evaluate the health status, screen for risk factors and diseases, and provide preventive counseling interventions in an age-appropriate manner. 

The goals of or rather the goal of screening and evaluation is to prevent the onset of disease or the worsening of an existing disease.

A further goal of the periodic health examination is to educate patients about behavioral patterns or environmental exposures that pose risk for future diseases.

 It is the process of determining or diagnosing a person’s health status and detecting the presence of physical defects or impaired health.

 

Having a regular health check-up is an important aspect in maintaining good health and is a helpful tool in assessing the condition of a person. 

The physician can discuss any medical condition requiring attention thereby minimizing the dangers that are threatening your health. It’s important that an individual visits a doctor for a health check-up at least once a year.

Most or many schools do that because it’s their responsibility and duty to also look after the welfare of the students. They’re like the students’ second home, right? 

The school can help determine the health condition of the students through regular health examinations but as the protocol implies, before any health examination is done, the school health officials should meet the teachers and students to brief them on the need to undergo health examination, in that way, the teachers can be made aware of how to deal with students who have health conditions. 

In a related way, the students should be made conscious of observing health rules to keep themselves healthy and to cope with the challenges of school life. 

You see, having regular examinations would help determine one’s health condition. It’s the school’s duty to check how their students are doing regarding their health and not just their academics and others. This is because “health is wealth,” and neither student nor even personnel is able to perform well if he or she is sickly.

We undergo regular health examinations because to become healthy is everyone’s goal. Well, “Health is Wealth,” how are you able to enjoy your life if you’re just going to be staying on the bed most of your life or rather for the rest of your life? 

You see, being healthy means a lot more than other reasons. Health is the wellness of the body and the mind. Having a regular health examination or check-up is important for it’s a helpful tool in assessing the condition of a person. It’s a time when a person can ask questions and talk about any health concern. In that way, we won’t become ignorant of our conditions regarding our health.

Our health is precious; we can’t do the things we want to do if we’re all sickly, it’s sad. When we undergo regular health examinations, the communicable or non-communicable diseases that we might have may be prevented. 

Remember, “A pinch of prevention is better than a pound of cure.” It’s better to cure something or prevent it than to spend millions of pesos only to realize that it’s already too late.
