Medical checkup – preventive medical examination at the USZ
A regular medical checkup is an important element of long-term health. With personalized preventive medicine, we determine your individual risk situation, offer sensible early detection examinations and show you exactly what you can do yourself to effectively prevent illness. Take the opportunity to optimize your state of health and actively take care of your health with the help of a personalized checkup.
Individual health checkups
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions – every person is unique. This is why we conduct a personal, preliminary telephone consultation before your checkup in order to create a tailor-made examination program. If necessary, we will adjust this directly on site. In this way, we avoid unnecessary examinations and save valuable time. Our comprehensive diagnostics provide you with precise information about your state of health and individual risk factors.
Personal and direct advice
All examinations are carried out within one day. Finally, the findings are summarized in a detailed discussion and you receive specific suggestions regarding lifestyle, diet and sensible check-ups. Our aim is to help you understand your body better and support its functions in order to stay healthy.
