Screening ensures you are never caught off guard
A routine, preventive health check-up for healthy people
Screening shines a light on your health, so you can keep doing what you love
Our annual screening program gives you a comprehensive and accurate prediction of your health status.
Why Screen?
Screening helps you identify previously unrecognised health risks. Finding them at an early stage allows you to modify your lifestyle and prevent lifestyle diseases. In the case of cancers, finding them early gives you the best chance of receiving effective treatment.
In India, cancer tends to be detected in the more advanced stages. Cancer found in the early stage accounts for only a small percentage of people.

Why is early detection important?
Japan is a great example of why early detection works. Life expectancy in Japan is the longest in the world, thanks in part to their tradition of periodic screening. Cancers in Japan are usually detected at an early stage, giving those diagnosed with it the best chance at receiving effective treatment.
NURA is modelled after this Japanese system of periodic screening.

When should I consider screening?
The best time to screen is when you’re healthy, Periodic Screening is recommended for those who have a stressful and busy lifestyle, with frequent business trips, lack of sleep and exercise. People with a family history of cancer and lifestyle factors like being overweight, smoking or excessive alcohol consumption can benefit greatly from early and periodic screening.
