Preventive Health Checkup in Delhi — Catch Disease Before It Catches You

A preventive health checkup is not a lab bundle — it is a structured attempt to find disease before it becomes symptomatic. Dr. Sanjay Sachdev's preventive checkup in South Delhi screens metabolic, cardiac, liver, kidney, thyroid, nutritional and cancer risks, then translates the numbers into a specific 12-month prevention plan.

Why preventive matters more than diagnostic

By the time diabetes causes symptoms, the pancreas has lost 50% of its function. By the time a heart attack happens, the coronary artery has been narrowing for a decade. By the time breast or colon cancer is symptomatic, staging is worse and outcomes are poorer. A preventive checkup exists to find these trends early — HbA1c drifting up, LDL creeping up, BP borderline, a small breast lesion, a colon polyp — while they are still reversible or curable.

What Dr. Sachdev's preventive checkup covers

Metabolic panel (fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, thyroid, uric acid); organ function (liver, kidney with eGFR, CBC, urine); nutrition (vitamin D, B12, iron, ferritin); cardiovascular (BP, ECG, and where indicated 2D echo, TMT or CT coronary calcium score); imaging (abdominal ultrasound); and age-appropriate cancer screening (mammography, Pap smear, PSA, faecal occult blood or colonoscopy referral). Every result is read against your history and family risk.

Preventive checkup for cardiovascular risk

Heart disease is the #1 killer of Indians and hits a decade earlier than in the West. A preventive cardiac assessment adds ApoB (a better marker than LDL alone), Lp(a) (a genetic marker most Indians have never checked), hs-CRP, 2D echo, TMT or CT coronary calcium score — and a specific statin, BP and lifestyle plan for the next 12 months.

Preventive checkup for diabetes and metabolic risk

One in four adults in urban India has prediabetes and doesn't know it. HbA1c with fasting insulin catches insulin resistance years before glucose rises. We combine this with lipid profile, liver ultrasound (fatty liver is the metabolic canary), waist circumference and BP — and translate the risk into a specific diet, exercise and — where indicated — GLP-1 or metformin plan.

Preventive checkup for cancer

Age- and sex-appropriate screening: mammography from 40, Pap smear from 25 (every three years), PSA from 50 (or 45 with family history), colonoscopy from 45, faecal occult blood annually, low-dose CT chest for heavy smokers, and skin/oral examination during consultation. Screening you actually do beats screening you meant to do.

Your preventive health plan

The output of every preventive checkup is a physician-signed 12-month plan: what to start, what to stop, what to repeat and when. Recall calendar is shared by WhatsApp so nothing is missed. If a risk factor changes — new symptom, new medication, new family diagnosis — the plan is adjusted.

Frequently asked

7 answers
What is a preventive health checkup?
A preventive health checkup is a physician-led screening designed to catch disease before it becomes symptomatic — diabetes before complications, hypertension before a heart attack, cancer before it spreads. Dr. Sachdev's preventive checkup covers blood work, imaging, ECG and age-appropriate cancer screening, followed by a signed written report with a specific 12-month prevention plan.
Who should get a preventive health checkup?
Everyone over 40 annually. Every two years between 30 and 40 if you have no risk factors. Yearly at any age if you have diabetes, hypertension, obesity, thyroid disease, fatty liver, a smoking history, or a family history of heart disease or cancer. Preventive care matters most when you feel well.
What is included in a preventive health checkup?
Metabolic panel (fasting glucose, HbA1c, lipid profile, thyroid, uric acid); organ function (liver, kidney, CBC, urine); nutrition (vitamin D, B12, iron); cardiovascular (BP, ECG, and where indicated 2D echo, TMT or CT coronary calcium score); imaging (abdominal ultrasound); and age-appropriate cancer screening.
How is a preventive health checkup different from a diagnostic checkup?
A preventive checkup is done when you are asymptomatic — to detect risk early. A diagnostic workup is done to find the cause of a specific symptom. The tests overlap but the mindset differs: prevention focuses on trends (HbA1c drifting up, LDL creeping up, BP borderline) that a diagnostic workup would ignore.
Are preventive health checkups covered by insurance in India?
Some policies now cover an annual preventive checkup up to ₹5,000–₹10,000, and many corporate wellness benefits reimburse it. We provide a detailed invoice and physician-signed report that satisfies insurer and HR requirements.
Is a preventive health checkup near me available with home sample collection?
Yes — home sample collection across South Delhi (Friends Colony, New Friends Colony, Maharani Bagh, Defence Colony, GK, Lajpat Nagar, Kalkaji, Saket) and Noida. Imaging and ECG at the clinic; physician consultation at Friends Colony East or Maharani Bagh Community Centre.
How often should I repeat a preventive health checkup?
Annually for adults 40+. Every two years for adults 30–40 with no risk factors. Yearly at any age with chronic conditions or strong family history. Dr. Sachdev's written report includes a personalised 12-month recall calendar so you don't have to remember.
