Health audit
A health audit is a comprehensive health check-up that provides an overview of a person's health, as well as guidance from doctors on how to look after one's health.
A health audit is a service that assesses the functioning of different organs, with a strong emphasis on the early detection of more common diseases (e.g. cardiovascular diseases).
It is primarily a preventive service and is suitable for all adults. Health audits are not suitable for patients with serious and acute health problems.
