Raffles Medical: Prioritizing Children’s Health in the Digital Era
In today’s digital age, children are growing up in an environment where everything is instant and urgent. It is crucial to pay attention to the important details of their lifestyle, including consuming nutritious food and supporting their emotional development. At Raffles Medical, our Vitality and Wellbeing program includes tests for vitamin levels and various antioxidants, aiding in the creation of a balanced diet tailored for your child’s needs.
Health Screening Packages for Children (Ages 5-18)
Regular checkups from early childhood through adolescence are essential for monitoring growth and developmental milestones. These periodic assessments help keep parents informed about their children’s health, allowing them to plan or adjust childcare approaches to ensure a well-balanced, nutritious diet and appropriate developmental support. Our comprehensive health screening packages for children aged 5 to 18 include:
- Growth and Development Monitoring: Regular measurements of height, weight, and body mass index (BMI) to ensure children are growing at a healthy rate.
- Nutritional Assessments: Evaluations to identify any dietary deficiencies or imbalances and provide tailored dietary recommendations.
- Vitamin and Antioxidant Testing: Tests to check for levels of essential vitamins and antioxidants that are crucial for growth and development.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): A comprehensive blood test to evaluate overall health and detect a variety of disorders, including anemia and infection.
- Lipid Profile: Tests to measure cholesterol levels, which can help in assessing the risk of developing heart disease later in life.
- Toxic Heavy Metal Screening: Tests to detect harmful levels of metals like lead and mercury, which can affect cognitive and physical development.
Health Screening Packages for Adolescents (Ages 12-18)
As children transition into adolescence, continuous health monitoring remains vital. The environment significantly influences teenagers, affecting their eating behaviors through fast food consumption and media or peer pressure. Laboratory testing during this stage is highly recommended to accurately assess their health and wellness. Our specialized health screening packages for adolescents aged 12 to 18 include:
- Hormonal Assessments: Evaluations of hormone levels to ensure proper growth and development during puberty.
- Mental Health Screenings: Assessments to identify any signs of stress, anxiety, or depression that may be influenced by social or academic pressures.
- Nutritional Counseling: Guidance to help adolescents make healthy food choices amidst the challenges of fast food and peer-influenced eating habits.

- Lipid and Blood Sugar Testing: Assessments to monitor risk factors for conditions like diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
- Bone Health Assessments: Tests to evaluate bone density and ensure strong bone development during these critical years.
Our comprehensive screening programs aim to set your children on the path to good health as they grow into adulthood. By addressing both physical and emotional health, Raffles Medical ensures that your children receive the best possible care tailored to their unique needs.
