About Medical Check-Ups in Turkey

Medical check-ups in Turkey are comprehensive health screenings designed to assess your current health, identify risk factors, and enable early detection of disease. These evaluations combine a physician interview with laboratory blood tests, imaging, and specialist examinations so clinicians can create a clear picture of your health and recommend follow-up where needed.

How often you need a check-up depends on your age, medical history, and family risk. For example, adults over 40 commonly include vision screening, cardiological assessment (ECG), and age‑appropriate cancer screenings in their routine. People with a family history of chronic disease or specific risk factors may be advised to have more frequent testing.

Medical check-ups in Turkey help you monitor health trends over time and improve chances for early detection. Regular screening programs reduce surprises by tracking key indicators and flagging changes before symptoms appear.

This guide, prepared with DGS Healthcare specialists, explains common screening tests, recommended intervals by age and risk, and the main check-up packages we offer. Jump to our packages and pricing section to compare sample options and costs: see packages & prices.

Quick summary — typical components of a medical check-up:

• Doctor interview and physical exam
• Blood tests (CBC, fasting glucose, lipid panel, liver and kidney function)
• Urinalysis and basic biochemical screens
• Cardiac screening (ECG) and blood pressure assessment
• Imaging as indicated (chest X-ray, ultrasound, mammography or other age/risk‑based imaging)

Sample basic itinerary (one-day): fasting blood tests in the morning, ECG and chest X-ray, physician consultation to review results, and a written health summary with recommended next steps. More comprehensive check-up packages include additional imaging and specialist consultations over 1–2 days.

Medical Check-Up Procedure in Turkey

A medical check-up (health screening) in Turkey combines a detailed doctor interview, targeted tests, and imaging to identify risk factors and detect disease early. The exact procedure is personalized: clinicians consider your age, family history, lifestyle, and any known risk factors when selecting tests and specialist consultations.

Key steps in a typical check-up process:

• Pre-visit intake and health risk assessment to tailor the package (age, family history, medications, stress and lifestyle factors).
• Morning fasting blood tests (CBC, fasting glucose, lipid panel, liver/kidney function) and urinalysis.
• Physical exam, vital signs, and screening tests (blood pressure, BMI, ECG as indicated).
• Age- and sex-specific imaging or specialist exams (mammography, chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, PSA test for men, gynaecological exam for women).
• Physician review of results with written health summary, risk-factor management plan, and referrals if further investigation or treatment is needed.

Who Should Have Medical Check-Ups in Turkey?

Check-ups suit most adults, but priority groups include: people with a family history of chronic disease (diabetes, coronary disease, cancer), adults experiencing persistent stress or lifestyle risks, and anyone seeking a baseline health assessment. DGS Healthcare specialists will select the appropriate doctors and tests based on your profile.

Recommended frequency: for average-risk adults, a yearly medical check-up is commonly recommended. Individuals over age 40 or those with multiple risk factors may be advised to have screenings (for example, cardiovascular checks or cancer screenings) more frequently or follow specialist guidance—timing should be based on clinical recommendations rather than a one-size-fits-all rule.

Why routine screening matters

Regular screening helps detect conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, anaemia, and early-stage cancers when they are more treatable. Routine tests and monitoring allow doctors to track trends over years and act on changes before symptoms develop—this is central to early detection and prevention.

People with specific concerns—unexplained weight change, persistent fatigue, new symptoms, or significant family history—should discuss targeted tests with their doctor; these may include advanced imaging or specialist screening panels tailored to risk.

Practical examples

Low-risk adult (20–40): annual basic check-up—doctor consult, blood tests (glucose, lipids), urinalysis, and chest X-ray or ECG if indicated. High-risk adult (40+ or family history): expanded screening—blood panel, ECG, imaging (mammography/PSA/CT or ultrasound as indicated), and specialist referrals.

DGS Healthcare tailored check-up programs pair the most appropriate tests and specialist consultations to your individual risk profile, helping doctors and patients focus on prevention, early detection, and long-term health maintenance.

What Do Medical Check-Ups in Turkey Consist of?

A medical check-up is a proactive, personalized health examination that combines a physician interview with targeted laboratory and imaging tests. Unlike investigations done after an illness appears, check-ups focus on screening and prevention — assessing lifestyle, family history, and risk factors to recommend follow-up or treatment where needed.

Typical components of a medical check-up in Turkey include:

• Doctor interview & physical examination — review of personal and family health, medications, and lifestyle.
• Blood tests — CBC, fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, liver and kidney function tests; additional blood panels ordered based on age and risk.
• Urinalysis and basic biochemical screens.
• Cardiac screening — ECG and blood pressure monitoring; advanced cardiology tests if indicated.
• Imaging — chest X-ray, abdominal ultrasound, mammography (where appropriate), and other radiology based on symptoms or age.
• Specialist examinations — gynaecological exam, urological exam, dermatological or endocrine assessments as needed.

Women’s and Men’s Packages — examples

Women (20–40): blood tests, urinalysis, chest X-ray, clinical breast exam and gynaecological exam. Women 40+ typically add ECG, mammography and stool occult blood testing for colorectal screening.

Men (20–40): basic blood panel, chest X-ray, urinalysis and general physical exam. Men 40+ often receive urological exam, PSA testing, stool occult blood test and ECG as part of expanded screening.

Tests and practical pre-checkup guidance

Most blood tests are taken in the morning after fasting (commonly 8–12 hours); however, fasting requirements can vary by test, so our team will confirm instructions before your appointment. Inform your physician if you are pregnant, undergoing fertility treatment, or are taking supplements (iron, high-dose vitamin C) — some supplements and recent meals (e.g., red meat, cruciferous vegetables) may alter certain test results.

Abstain from alcohol for 24 hours prior to sampling and tell us about recent illnesses or medications. If additional imaging or specialist tests are indicated after initial results, the team will arrange timely follow-up.

Tailored programs and record keeping

DGS Healthcare check-up packages are personalized by age, gender and inherited risk factors. After testing, results are stored in your medical record and shared with you and your consultant to support ongoing health monitoring and personalized health planning.
