Initial medical check-up 

 is a comprehensive health check-up that allows you to identify potential diseases at an early stage, when they are easier to treat. In Switzerland, the initial medical check-up is an important part of preventive medicine and is recommended for all adults every 1-2 years.

What tests are included in the initial medical check-up in Switzerland?

The basic initial medical check-up in Switzerland includes the following procedures:

  • Doctor's consultation. 

The doctor interviews the patient, collects information about their medical history, lifestyle and habits. The doctor also asks about any complaints or symptoms.

  • Lipid profile:

During the physical examination, the doctor assesses the patient's general health, including their height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, respiratory rate, body temperature, etc. The doctor also examines the skin, hair, nails, eyes, nose, mouth, throat, chest, abdomen, limbs, etc.

Laboratory tests. 

The following parameters are analyzed as part of the laboratory tests:

  • Complete blood count. This test allows to assess the number of different blood cells, as well as the presence of any abnormalities in their composition.
  • Biochemical blood test. This test allows to assess the condition of the main organs and systems of the body, including the liver, kidneys, pancreas, thyroid gland, etc.
  • Urinalysis. This test allows to assess the condition of the kidneys and urinary system.
  • Stool analysis. This test allows to assess the condition of the gastrointestinal tract.

   Hardware diagnostics

The following methods can be used for hardware diagnostics:

  • X-ray. This is a visualization method that uses X-rays to obtain images of internal organs and tissues.
  • Ultrasound examination (US). This is a visualization method that uses sound waves to obtain images of internal organs and tissues.
  • Computed tomography (CT). This is a visualization method that uses X-rays to obtain three-dimensional images of internal organs and tissues.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This is a visualization method that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to obtain images of internal organs and tissues.

New technologies in Switzerland for examinations

Swiss medical institutions use the most modern technologies for examinations. In particular, the following technologies are widely used in Switzerland:

  • Digital radiography. Digital radiography allows to obtain clearer and more detailed images than traditional radiography. This increases the accuracy of diagnostics.

  • Computed tomography (CT). CT allows to obtain three-dimensional images of internal organs and tissues. This allows for a more accurate assessment of the condition of organs and tissues, as well as to identify possible diseases.

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI also allows to obtain three-dimensional images of internal organs and tissues. MRI is a safer method than CT and can be used to diagnose diseases that are not detected with CT.
  • Positron emission tomography (PET). PET allows to visualize metabolic processes in the body. This allows to identify malignant tumors at an early stage, when they are not yet visible with other diagnostic methods.

Additional examinations

  Depending on the patient's age, risk factors or complaints, the doctor may prescribe additional examinations. For example:

Men over 40 years old

  • Colonoscopy: This test allows to detect polyps and colon cancer. Colonoscopy is performed with a flexible tube that is inserted into the colon through the anus.
  • Fecal occult blood test: This test allows to detect blood in the stool, which may be a sign of colon cancer.
  • Prostate exam: This test allows to detect prostate cancer. The prostate exam is performed by taking a tissue sample from the prostate gland.

Women over 50 years old

  • Mammography: This test allows to detect breast cancer. Mammography is performed using X-rays.
  • Breast ultrasound: This test allows to detect changes in the breast that may be a sign of cancer.
  • Hysteroscopy: This test allows to examine the inside of the uterus. Hysteroscopy is performed with a flexible tube that is inserted into the uterus through the vagina.

People with Risk Factors

  • If a person has risk factors for developing a particular disease, a doctor may prescribe additional tests to detect the disease at an early stage. For example, people with a family history of breast cancer are recommended to undergo mammography at a younger age than women without risk factors.

People with Complaints

  • If a person has any complaints, a doctor may prescribe additional tests to identify the cause of these complaints. For example, if a person has abdominal pain, a doctor may prescribe ultrasound or computed tomography to identify possible causes of the pain.
