No one wants their life cut short — we all value health, longevity, and happiness. Yet serious conditions like coronary heart disease and cancer can strike without warning. A First Health Check Preventative Health Assessment offers a proactive way to detect health issues early, before symptoms appear, giving you the best chance of successful treatment and a healthier future.

For example, lung cancer remains one of the biggest threats. In the UK, approximately 50,000 people are diagnosed with lung cancer each year, making it the third most common cancer. Sadly, only 5% survive beyond 10 years, mainly because the disease is often detected too late. Despite advancements, survival rates have barely improved in decades. However, early cancer detection using the advanced health screening services offered by First Health Check can identify tumours when they are just a few millimetres in size. When found early, survival rates rise dramatically, with over 95% of patients surviving more than 10 years.

Our Platinum Preventative Health Assessment is expertly designed to detect upto 95% of the leading causes of premature death, including lung cancer, at a stage when effective treatment is possible. If you’re looking for a private health assessment that prioritises early diagnosis and personalised care, First Health Check is here to help.

At First Health Check, we offer a unique opportunity for a comprehensive preventative health check in the vibrant city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Our partner hospital, a leader in healthcare for over 30 years, is located in the heart of Ahmedabad.

What sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to precision, personalisation, and excellence. Unlike many providers who rely on predictive models or standardised checklists, we deliver concrete, data-driven insights. Every client is assessed individually. Before you proceed, a senior physician reviews your detailed medical history and risk factors to ensure you are advised the most suitable assessment package.

Our state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment, operated by skilled radiographers, produces ultra-detailed scans that are interpreted by highly experienced radiologists and consultants. Every client receives a personalised health report, expertly reviewed and explained by our senior medical team, along with clear, actionable health advice.

By choosing First Health Check, you gain access to world-class private health screening in India at a fraction of the cost you would expect to pay for similar services in the UK. Our packages deliver exceptional value without ever compromising on quality, safety, or service.
Your journey to India isn’t just about safeguarding your health — it’s also a chance to explore one of the world’s most captivating destinations. From the historical splendour of Ahmedabad to the breathtaking landscapes beyond, your preventative health check can become an unforgettable adventure, combining early disease detection with a rich cultural experience.

At First Health Check, we believe that world-class healthcare should be accessible and affordable. Invest in a package that offers more than just peace of mind — it offers empowerment, insight, and a holistic experience you’ll cherish.

When you choose a First Health Check preventative health assessment, you can trust that the price is transparent, fixed, and clearly outlined from the very start. There are no hidden costs for the scans, consultations, or detailed evaluations included in your selected package.

Should any findings require a referral to a specialist, additional costs may apply. However, for the comprehensive health assessment itself, the price you agree to initially will remain consistent throughout the entire process — giving you total peace of mind.

At First Health Check, we offer one of the most comprehensive preventative health evaluations available today.
Our Platinum Assessment is expertly designed to detect upto 95% of the conditions most likely to cause premature death.

We are confident that very few clinics worldwide can match the thoroughness, accuracy, and personalised attention of our diagnostic approach — and without requiring extra scans that drive up the final cost.
Even when other providers attempt to offer similar services, their total price often exceeds the investment required for a First Health Check full-body health assessment.

We deliver more than just peace of mind through world-class medical insights — we provide unmatched value, empowering you to take proactive control of your health with complete confidence.

A First Health Check Preventative Health Assessment is expertly designed to identify potential health risks before symptoms arise, offering peace of mind for men and women aged 35 and over. Using advanced diagnostic technology and comprehensive medical evaluations, our private health screenings can detect serious conditions such as diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and many other hidden illnesses at the earliest stages.

At First Health Check, your dedicated team of senior physicians will carefully review your personal medical history, lifestyle, and risk factors to recommend the most suitable preventative assessment package for your needs. If you have concerns about a strong family history of a particular disease, we encourage you to share this with us at the start.

Take control of your health with First Health Check — early detection leads to better outcomes.

No, you will not need a referral from your GP or a hospital doctor. First Health Check assessments are subject to you completing a medical questionnaire which will then be reviewed by one of our senior doctors to determine which of our three preventative health assessment plan will be suitable for you.

Preventative health assessments using CT and MRI scans are highly effective in identifying potential health risks at an early stage. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) has the distinct advantage of not using ionizing radiation, making it an excellent option for repeated imaging when necessary. This is especially beneficial for individuals who may require ongoing monitoring. MRI is particularly proficient at diagnosing a range of medical conditions, including conditions related to the nervous system, vascular conditions, and cancers. However, it is less effective for detecting lung conditions and may not be suitable for patients with metallic implants.

In contrast, some of the most common and preventable diseases—such as lung cancer, colon cancer, and coronary artery disease—are best detected using CT (Computed Tomography) scans. While CT scans do involve exposure to ionizing radiation, the technology we use is among the most advanced in the world, minimising radiation doses significantly compared to older models. Rest assured, all CT scans conducted at our facility strictly adhere to safety regulations, and each scan is carefully monitored by a senior medical radiographer to ensure it is necessary and appropriate.

By offering both MRI and CT scans as part of our preventative health assessments, we aim to provide a comprehensive and safe approach to early disease detection, helping you maintain long-term health and well-being.

Preparing for your health assessment is simple and very straightforward which requires just a few steps. You will need to fast and avoid caffeine and alcohol for 8 hours. On the day of your assessment we advise that you do not exercise and wear minimum Jewellery and to dress in comfortable attire and request that you wear spectacles instead of contact lenses. These simple instructions ensure that your diagnostic results are as accurate as possible.

If your health assessment includes a CT scan, there may be additional preparation involved. You might be asked to follow a low-residue diet for 12 hours beforehand and drink an oral contrast agent. This harmless dye helps the radiologist differentiate between normal digestive residue and any areas of concern, such as colon polyps.

Rest assured that all necessary details will be fully explained to you by our senior doctor, who will guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have. Our team is also available by phone or email at any time should you need further clarification or assistance before booking your health assessment.

Absolutely. We recognise that MRI is the most effective method for imaging specific areas of the body, particularly:

• The brain and spinal cord
• The arteries in the brain and neck
• Bones and joints
• The prostate gland

The quality and detail of MRI scans are determined by the strength of the scanner’s magnets, measured in Tesla. Most MRI scanners, including the majority used in the UK, operate at 1.5 Tesla, which provides good image quality. However, a 3 Tesla MRI scanner, which operates at twice the standard strength, delivers significantly better image clarity and detail due to its greater signal-to-noise ratio. This level of precision is particularly important for prostate imaging, and multiparametric 3T MRI scanning is now considered the “gold standard” for detecting prostate cancer, the most common cancer in men.

Due to the higher cost and operational complexities, 3T MRI scanners are less common, with only a few available in the UK. However, First Health Check is committed to providing the highest standard of care. That’s why we utilise one of these industry-leading scanners through our trusted imaging partner, located just a short distance from our BAPS hospital. We believe this slight inconvenience is well worth it, as our Medical Director is confident that the enhanced image quality provided by this state-of-the-art scanner is invaluable for precise diagnostics and early detection.

Our clients greatly appreciate this commitment to excellence, knowing that they’re receiving the most advanced medical imaging available today.

All of the preventative health assessment scans we provide, including CT, ECG, EOS, ultrasound, full body mole scans, and comprehensive blood tests are all conducted at our partner BAPS hospital. However, our commitment extends beyond convenience—we strive to ensure our clients have access to the highest quality equipment and diagnostic technology available.

In Ahmedabad, there are only a few 3 Tesla MRI scanners, and we have exclusive access to them, located just a short drive from our BAPS hospital. For your comfort, we’ll arrange transportation and personally escort you to and from the facility so that your assessment experience remains seamless and hassle-free.

Many of our clients have expressed that, when faced with the choice between staying in one location or making a short journey to access the best MRI technology available, they always prioritise the latter. The advanced 3 Tesla MRI offers unmatched diagnostic precision, significantly improving the chances of early disease detection. For us, providing access to such cutting-edge technology is integral to delivering the best possible care.

First Health Check preventative health assessments are designed to be completed within just 3 days, offering a fast, thorough, and efficient health evaluation. Our senior clinicians guide you through each step of the process, ensuring you are fully informed, supported, and confident from start to finish. Should you have any questions before your private health assessment, our dedicated team is available via (phone or email) info@firsthealthcheck.com to provide assistance and help you prepare. We are committed to delivering a seamless, reassuring experience from your initial enquiry to the completion of your comprehensive health check.

At First Health Check, our preventative health assessments are designed to detect even the slightest health abnormalities. While most findings are minor, such as slightly abnormal blood results, these may only require lifestyle adjustments or further discussion on potential treatment options. In some cases, more significant health concerns may be detected during advanced scans.

Our senior consultants, who are highly experienced, will thoroughly review all your results with you. They’ll explain the implications of any findings and guide you on how to proceed with treatment or lifestyle changes.

Should further specialist care be required, our team will refer you to the most qualified local experts, ensuring that you receive the most appropriate care for your condition. At no point will you be left unsupported—First Health Check will be with you every step of the way, offering continuous guidance and unwavering support until your journey with us is complete. You will also receive a full set of your health assessment documents, which will allow your UK-based doctor to review the findings upon your return. This ensures that your doctor can advise you on any necessary next steps based on your assessment results.

We are committed to ensuring your comfort and peace of mind, providing a seamless experience throughout your entire health assessment journey.

The recommended frequency of your preventative health assessments is carefully tailored to your personal health profile. Key factors such as age, medical history, risk factors, and the results of your initial evaluation are all taken into account. As a general guideline, we advise undergoing a comprehensive health screening every 3 to 5 years to support early detection and proactive health management. If specific concerns or elevated risks are identified, we may recommend more frequent or targeted screenings to ensure you receive the most effective and personalised health care.
