Your fasting will continue till after your blood samples have been taken and your ultrasound scan completed.

Specially designed clothes will be provided by us, for the duration of your check up.

You will be required to remove neck chains, lockets etc. prior to your chest X-ray. It would be best if you could leave behind all jewellery, valuables etc. at home on the day of your health check.

Please get your first morning urine & stool samples in the plastic containers that have been given to you. For the urine samples, it is recommended that a mid stream specimen is collected i.e. start to pass urine (do not collect the initial flow), midway through the voiding stop passing urine and collect the sample in the container. A3/4 full container is sufficient for the test.

It is necessary that you have a full bladder at the time of presentation to the PPC lounge. A strong urge to void urine implies a full bladder. May we suggest that you collect your stool and urine samples early in the morning. Following this, we suggest that you consume 1 to 2 liters of water starting 1 hour prior to your appointment time. This will ensure that you have a full bladder in time for your ultrasound scan.

According to past patient review, the most common cause of delays in PPC processing is: the fact that patient does not have a full bladder at time of presentation for their PPC.

If you use contact lenses, you are advised to discontinue use of your contact lenses 24 hours prior to your appointed date. Start use of your latest number spectacles. The eye specialist will need to evaluate your latest numbers spectacles, as well.
