Praava Health, has launched its much-anticipated product ‘Smart Health Check.’
With this package, anyone can take a set of basic tests that generally indicate overall health conditions, according to a press release.
Each test covers a different aspect of health, and the doctor's consultation will help the patient understand and receive proper guidance in the right direction.
The health check includes a complete blood count with ESR (measures several components and features of blood to evaluate overall health condition), Hemoglobin-A1c (average blood sugar levels over the past three months), Glucose - random (measures sugar level in the blood at the time you are tested), Serum creatinine (measures the level of creatinine in the blood which indicates the kidneys’ functional state), Alanine aminotransferase (measures ALT levels in the blood to check the status of the liver), and Lipid profile (a panel of blood tests used to find abnormalities in cholesterol levels).
During the consultation, one of Praava’s family medicine doctors or nutritionists will check and evaluate the reports to describe the physical status of a patient.
The Smart Health Check will cost Tk4000 throughout the year, but Praava is offering a 20% discount on this package for the month of Eid.
Speaking about the package, Dr Paramita Karim, consultant of Family Medicine, Praava Health said: “If you want to focus on preventative care, this package has been designed for you. It can assess and prevent complications of diabetes, liver function, abnormal cholesterol, and kidney functions. This package is a quick and easy way for patients and their doctors to have an overview of general health conditions.”
A patient may have to come to Praava twice - once to provide the diagnostic sample and another time for the doctor's consultation.
However, one can also choose the option for home sample collection and video consultation, which would be an entire health check at home for an additional fee of Tk1000.
