Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur ( PHKL ) has always believed that early detection saves lives . With that as a goal , we offer extensive screening facilities and customisable screening packages that are complemented by a dedicated team of specialists who help patients analyse and understand their results . PHKL ’ s Health Screening Centre ( HSC ) is a one-stop facility where patients from all over come to have their health check-ups , ranging from basic to comprehensive screening packages , all in one place . The journey of these patients , from having their blood investigations done , imaging , and right up to consultations with doctors , is seamless and convenient .

With early detection and the importance of prevention in mind , PHKL offers not just resident medical officers but also a team of experienced consultants across various specialities who work closely with patients to help them understand their health status better .

As a value-added benefit to corporate clients and external stakeholders and to ultimately encourage a healthy workforce , PHKL can create tailored screening packages to meet the needs of clients , deliver competitive corporate rates , and participate in corporate health talks , health camps , and on-site health screening campaigns .

PHKL ’ s passion for preventive healthcare is perhaps most evident in our “ Screen to Be Sure ” campaign , which raises awareness of the impor-

tance of early detection of cancer for the best outcome . The goal is early detection , lifestyle improvements , or surveillance to reduce the risk of getting the disease or to enable early enough diagnosis to treat patients most effectively . Screening tests are not just diagnostic . They also identify who should undergo additional testing to determine the presence or absence of disease .

Cancer remains one of the toughest codes to crack in the medical world . Carcinogenic characteristics ( the way cancerous cells behave ) develop subtly , often undetectable behind the scenes

of normal bodily functions . And when symptoms appear , the disease may already be too complex to treat if cancer has metastasised across the body .

At PHKL , we believe that regular cancer screening helps to detect abnormalities , remediate early diagnosis and treatment , and provide insights into other aspects of patients ’ health when done alongside consultations . PHKL ’ s intention through this campaign is to educate patients to understand that getting cancer is not the end . Rather , detecting cancer in its earliest stages gives the best chance of survival . Therefore , PHKL offers a range of extensive and comprehensive screening packages , such as preventive women ’ s health screenings , chest X-rays , colonoscopies , and comprehensive blood tests .
