We recommend scheduling your medical check-up at least two weeks after any vaccination, including the COVID-19 vaccine. For breast screenings like mammograms or ultrasounds, ensure that you wait at least six weeks after your vaccination to ensure accurate results.

Infection shouldn’t deter your health screening plans. Blood tests can slightly elevate inflammatory markers after an illness, but the results can be interpreted in context of the recent infection. We’ll track potential complications related to that infection. Sensitive CRP for cardiac risk may not give accurate readings within a month after COVID-19.

Chest X-ray: May show infective changes when done after a recent COVID-19 infection and abnormalities should be followed up.

Pap Smear: Not necessary to wait

Mammogram/Breast Ultrasound : Not necessary to wait

Don’t delay your health screening due to a recent COVID-19 vaccine. Some inflammatory markers may be temporarily elevated after vaccination, and the results should be considered in this context. High sensitivity CRP for cardiac risk stratification isn’t recommended for individuals who’ve had vaccines within the past two weeks.

Chest X-ray: Not neccessary to wait

Pap Smear: Not neccessary to wait

Mammogram / Breast Ultrasound : You may still go for the tests without waiting but there might be occurrence of enlarged lymph nodes due to a recent vaccination and the findings can be read in the context of a recent vaccination.

We acknowledge that health screenings might take up to 2 hours, so if needed, we can provide a Time Chit upon request.

Since health screenings are carried out when you’re feeling well, we regret we’re unable to provide medical certificates for these visits. If you need a medical certificate, please consult your general practitioner.

Fasting is not necessary for most tests, but if you’ve chosen the Ultrasound Abdomen test, please fast for at least eight hours beforehand. Staying hydrated is important, so drink plenty of plain water. For chronic conditions like hypertension or high cholesterol, continue your medication as usual. However, if you’re diabetic, delay taking any diabetic medication until after you’ve had breakfast.

Please bring along:

When you arrive, we’ll verify your identity and registration using contactless methods, and take care of any necessary payments. You may be asked to fill out a pre-screening questionnaire either as you arrive or prior to the session.

We’ll measure your clinical parameters like height, weight, and blood pressure. Our staff will guide you through each station at a comfortable and efficient pace. The blood test will be done at the last station, and our trained phlebotomists prioritize your comfort throughout the process. The entire screening process might take anywhere from 30 to 90 minutes

Generally, your health screening results should be ready by the next working day, with the exception of certain tests and imaging studies.

We will notify you via email once the results are ready. To view them, please log in to your account using the provided link.

Please note that your report will be accessible only after you confirm your identity with an SMS passcode sent to your registered mobile number.

The health screening process is complete only after a review by one of our doctors. We recommend booking a teleconsult review appointment if you’d like to discuss your results.

For a comprehensive health assessment, our health screenings require a doctor’s review. It’s wise to arrange a free teleconsult appointment through our website.

Here are a few pointers for your reference:

• No definite diagnosis may be made from test results alone, and test results should be correlated with your medical history and other clinical findings.
• Screening tests may carry limitations in the capacity to identify or rule out the presence or absence of a condition. Normal test results may not necessarily mean the absence of a medical condition.
• The majority (about 95%) of a normal population test results will fall within the normal range. About 5% of the normal population test results may be slightly above or below the normal level.
• It is an acceptable fact that a normal person’s test results may fluctuate at different times although still within the normal range. This occurrence may be due to diet or other factors.

Yes they are, local studies have shown no significant differences between fasted and non-fasted blood samples for cholesterol levels. HbA1C for glucose  monitoring is also a well-established test.

While it is not necessary to fast, we will advise avoiding alcohol or a heavy meal just before your blood test. If you are going for a Treadmill Stress Test, certain blood pressure medications such as beta-blockers may need to be stopped prior to the test. You should not smoke or drink caffeinated drinks at least 3 hours before the test.

HbA1C is used to screen for diabetes. HbA1C tells us the blood glucose control over the last 3 months by measuring sugar molecules attached to your red blood cells. Concurrently, a non-fasted random blood glucose level is run. The normal cut-off for random blood glucose will be different from fasted blood glucose.

If your random blood glucose or HbA1C is abnormal, you may be required to do fasting blood glucose to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes.

Abdominal Ultrasound requires at least 6 hours of fasting before the procedure

If you are planning to go for an abdominal ultrasound, please ensure that you have fasted for the recommended time period before your scheduled appointment.

If your HbA1C is borderline or your random glucose is high, your doctor may advise you to do a fasting glucose to confirm the diagnosis of diabetes or prediabetes.

If your triglyceride level is extremely elevated, your doctor may advise you to do a fasted lipid panel.

It is acceptable to go for health screening when you are having your menses. However, kindly refrain from submitting your urine specimen when you are having your menses. It is advisable to wait till day 5 from the last day of your menstrual cycle for better accuracy.

Pap smear studies should not be conducted until after day 8 of menses.

CA 125 (Ovarian Tumor Marker) may be falsely elevated during menses, immediately before and immediately after menses. Aim to do the CA 125 (Ovarian Tumor Marker) test 1 week before or after your menses.

If you are feeling unwell, please postpone your health screening as it is an elective procedure.

You may email Hello@nofrills.com to reschedule an appointment, whether it is at your office or at Minmed Health Screeners.

When collecting the specimen, please use the spatula available in the lid of the container. A small specimen of stool is adequate for analysis.

Please note that specimens should be submitted to the clinic on the same day before 3pm (for weekdays) and 11am (for weekends).If your selected stool test is the conventional faecal blood test (non immunological), you are advised to abstain from consumption of meats 3 days before the study.
