Common questions
Is a full body scan worth it?
It depends on your age, symptoms and family history. Ask a doctor which tests make sense for you before paying for a large package.
Can a full body scan find cancer?
Some scans can show masses, but no single scan rules out every cancer. Screening for specific cancers is done with specific tests.
Do I need to fast?
Many packages include blood tests that need fasting. The centre will tell you when you book.
Choosing a full body scan or check-up package
"Full body scan" means different things at different facilities in Kenya. Some packages are a whole-body MRI or CT; many are an ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis plus blood tests and a doctor's review. Compare packages by what they include, not by the name.
How to choose
- Ask a doctor which tests suit your age, symptoms and family history before paying for a large package.
- Ask for the full list of scans and blood tests in writing.
- Check whether a doctor will go through the results with you, and whether follow-up tests cost extra.
Questions to ask before you pay
- Which scans and tests are in the package, exactly?
- Who reviews the results with me?
- Do I need to fast, and how long does it take?
