Regular wellness checks at a health screening clinic can help identify potential issues before they become serious. That goes for whether you’re dealing with unexplained fatigue, persistent bloating or other nagging symptoms. Here, two clinics who carry out health screening in Singapore share their thoughts on why well checks could make for a healthier 2025 for all.

“Think of health screenings as your body’s regular tune-up, helping you stay ahead of potential issues and giving you peace of mind,” says DR RAJ K SUBRAMANIAM, a GP at IMC in Holland Village. They’re not just about numbers on a report, he says; they can be an investment in vitality and long-term wellbeing.
“Comprehensive health screenings in our clinic can reveal often overlooked nutrient deficiencies, like vitamin D, for instance – a common concern for those with minimal sun exposure. This essential nutrient supports bone strength, immunity and energy, with deficiencies manifesting as fatigue, muscle weakness or mood shifts.”
Iron deficiency is another frequent discovery during health screenings, adds Dr Subramaniam. Iron infusions are an effective remedy to restore energy, enhance immunity, and address visible signs like hair loss.
Beyond vitamins and minerals, cardiovascular health can also be evaluated through treadmill stress tests, which provide insights into how your heart handles physical stress, revealing risks you might not notice otherwise.
“This year, make your health a priority,” Dr Subramaniam emphasises. “Proactive health screenings and wellness checks are a powerful step toward achieving a healthier, more balanced life.”

For those without a clear diagnosis but plagued by low energy or unexplained symptoms – or for patients with complex chronic conditions who haven’t found relief through traditional treatments – the solution may lie in a carefully selected set of blood tests or a personalised evidence-based treatment plan.
“Often, annoying and vague symptoms such as bloating are brushed off as diet or lifestyle-related reflux. But when you’ve adjusted everything and the issues persist, it’s easy to blame yourself and just live with it,” says DR ZHAO RUNFENG, Family Physician and Medical Director at District Family Clinics, part of the Normanton Healthcare Group.
Together with Dr Daphne Lim, who brings valuable international expertise, the clinics offer modern diagnostics and tailored care plans that look beyond traditional treatment options to tackle even the most elusive health issues.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent bloating or unexplained fatigue, or just need a routine check-up, they’ve got you covered with comprehensive health screenings and wellness checks across three locations in Singapore.
The team use targeted tests like the Urea Breath Test (UBT) to detect bacterial infections such as Helicobacter pylori in the stomach, along with bloodbased screens for allergies and food sensitivities. They say that once these have been identified, conditions can often be successfully treated, helping you feel better quickly.
