Health screening is a crucial component of preventive healthcare, especially for adults aged 35 and above. It involves a series of medical tests and examinations that can help detect health issues and non-communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and cancer at an early stage when they are more treatable. Early detection through health screening can also help prevent serious health problems from developing and improve overall health outcomes.
At Dr. Prevents Kuala Lumpur (KL), we believe prevention is better than cure. We offer comprehensive health screening packages, such as blood tests, urine tests, and a thorough body check-up, to help you maintain good health and well-being. With our health screening packages, you can take a proactive approach to your health and catch any potential health issues before they become more serious.
Our health screening process is streamlined for minimal waiting time and maximum efficiency.
Your privacy is our top priority, and we maintain strict confidentiality throughout the screening process.
Health screenings are conducted in a safe and sterile environment to minimize the risk of infection and ensure safety.
We offer a range of health screening packages in KL at affordable prices, so everyone can access preventive healthcare.
A health screening is a set of medical tests carried out while you still feel perfectly well. The point is early detection — finding a silent condition years before symptoms appear, while care is still simple and inexpensive.
High cholesterol, early diabetes, kidney disease, anaemia and gout rarely announce themselves. A patient can carry any of them for years with no warning at all. That is precisely why a routine check at a medical centre matters more than most people assume — by the time symptoms appear, care becomes harder, longer and far more expensive.
Screening is not the same as diagnosis. It tells you where your risk sits; a diagnostic test tells you exactly what is wrong. Every patient who walks into our centre sees a doctor, not just a lab slip — and if a result is abnormal, that same doctor arranges the next step in your care before you leave. This is preventive medical care as it should be: unhurried, explained, and affordable.
Each clinic works as a neighbourhood medical centre, not a hospital department — no referral letter, no waiting list. Same laboratory standard, consultation included, under an hour.
Screening is care you take before you need it.
Risk climbs sharply after 35. An annual evaluation at our centre catches change while it is still reversible.
If diabetes, heart disease or cancer runs in the family, regular medical checks are the most useful care you can take.
Employers and registries require a medical report. Our centre issues one the same week.
Long hours, smoking, diabetes or hypertension all need monitoring. Our medical team tracks each patient over time.
No reason needed. Peace of mind is reason enough — and this centre prices it at RM100.
A private hospital or specialist medical centre in Malaysia typically charges RM600 to over RM1,200 for a comparable assessment, with a wait for an appointment. Ours starts at RM100, you can walk in tonight, and the same accredited laboratories process your samples.
The difference is not medical standard — it is setting. A hospital screening centre is built around specialist departments; our centre is built around one patient at a time. Same tests, same laboratories, same medical rigour — delivered as ordinary primary care. That is what preventive care should be: quick, close to home, and priced so skipping it is never the sensible option.
Screen before work, after work, or at 2am — every centre, every day.
Walk in for Essential and Advanced. Message ahead for Executive so the ECG technician is ready.
The same medical laboratories the hospitals use. Report emailed within 24 hours.
A centre near you — no cross-city trip, no parking hunt.
From walking in to receiving your report takes about an hour. Here is what happens — and the few things worth doing beforehand.
Fast for 8–10 hours
Water is fine. Fasting gives accurate glucose and cholesterol readings. On diabetes medication? Speak to our doctor first.
Skip alcohol for 24 hours
Alcohol distorts liver results. One night off gives a truer picture.
Sleep well and keep taking your medication
Seven hours. Continue prescribed medicines unless told otherwise; bring previous reports.
Women: time it around your cycle
Book five days before or after menstruation. Tell us if you are pregnant, before any imaging.
The doctor explains every result
Nothing abnormal is left unexplained. Every patient understands what each number means before leaving the centre.
Your report arrives within 24 hours
Emailed and stored in your patient record — so we compare numbers year on year.
Follow-up is arranged the same day
If a specialist is needed, we book the referral immediately. Abnormal results are never left to sit.
We tell you when to come back
Healthy, under 50: every two years. Over 50: annually. With diabetes or hypertension: every six months.

Some screenings may also carry a small risk of complications, such as bleeding or infection. Additionally, some individuals may experience discomfort or pain during the screening procedure. It’s important to discuss any concerns or questions with a healthcare provider before undergoing any screening tests.
At Klinik DrPrevents, health screening packages start from RM 100 for iPrevents Essential (basic blood and urine tests) and go up to RM 600 for Executive Wellness (comprehensive screening with ECG, ultrasound, and full cancer markers). Cancer-specific packages are RM 400. All prices are transparent — no hidden charges. Public hospital screening typically costs RM 200-300; private hospital RM 600-1,200.
A basic health screening (iPrevents Essential at RM 100) includes: Full Blood Count, Kidney Function Test, Uric Acid (Gout), Cholesterol Profile, Blood Film Microscopy, Liver Function Test, Diabetic Screening (Glucose), and Urine Full Exam with Microscopic Study. This catches the most common silent conditions: high cholesterol, early diabetes, kidney disease, anaemia, and gout.
Health screening is preventive — tests done while you feel healthy, to catch issues early. A diagnosis is what happens when you have symptoms and need to identify a specific disease. Screening tells you “you may be at risk for X”; diagnosis tells you “you have X”. If screening finds something abnormal, the next step is usually a diagnostic test.
Yes — that is exactly the point. Many serious conditions (high cholesterol, early diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers, kidney disease) cause no symptoms until they are advanced. Screening detects them while they are still treatable. By the time symptoms appear, treatment is harder and more expensive.
Pre-marital screening typically requires Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, VDRL (syphilis), blood grouping, and thalassaemia screening. iPrevents Advanced (RM 130) covers basic items; Executive Wellness (RM 600) covers everything including thalassaemia. WhatsApp us to confirm what your specific religious or registry requirement needs.
Your doctor will explain every abnormal result before you leave. If anything needs further investigation, we will book you a specialist consultation or referral the same day. We do not let abnormal results sit. We also store all results in your patient record, so trends over years can be compared.
The greatest wealth is health.
