Health checkups without doctor’s advice have become popular in the country since the COVID-19 pandemic. Many young people are getting health checkups every few months without consulting a doctor. However, there have been cases of young people dying due to activities like dancing and exercising without proper medical guidance. Private pathology companies are taking advantage of this trend by offering attractive packages and different types of tests. The question arises whether health checkups should be done without doctor’s advice.
Private companies often contact individuals in cities like Delhi and offer attractive health checkup packages, charging thousands of rupees. These companies use fear tactics like showing the risk of serious diseases such as cancer, tuberculosis, and kidney problems, and convince people to get tests done based on their lifestyle. They offer various packages including 99 tests, 102 tests, vitamin profiles, lipid profiles, and kidney profiles.
Doctors from renowned government and private hospitals, including AIIMS Delhi, have expressed their views on the importance of regular health checkups. They emphasize that unnecessary tests and repeated investigations should be avoided. Doctors recommend getting tests done only when necessary and under medical guidance. They caution against falling into the trap of private labs that often offer incomplete tests and exploit people’s fear about their health.
In Short, it is important to consult a doctor before getting a health checkup. Private pathology companies are taking advantage of people’s concerns about their health and offering enticing packages. However, unnecessary tests and repeated investigations should be avoided. It is crucial to listen to medical professionals and seek their advice on when and what tests are necessary for one’s health.
कोरोना काल के बाद से देश में बिना डॉक्टरी सलाह के हेल्थ चेकअप कराने की होड़ मची हुई है। युवा बिना डॉक्टर की सलाह के हर दूसरे-तीसरे महीने हेल्थ चेकअप कर रहे हैं। लेकिन इसके पीछे चलते-फिरते, सोते-जागते, डांस और जिम में कसरत करते युवाओं की हो रही मौत को वजह माना जा रहा है। प्राइवेट पैथलैब कंपनियां इस मौके को भुना कर और आकर्षक पैकेज देकर फायदा उठा रही हैं। इसके बावजूद, डॉक्टरों ने बताया है कि बिना डॉक्टर सलाह के हेल्थ चेकअप कराना जरूरी नहीं है और यह पैथलैब कंपनियों का नेक्सस है। अस्पतालों में ऑनलाइन अपॉइंटमेंट के लिए ओआरएस पोर्टल का उपयोग करने की सलाह दी गई है।
