Health Screening Designed for Smokers
If you smoke, have been exposed to second-hand smoke, or even if you’ve already quit, your health is still at risk—smoking is a major cause of lung, nose, and organ cancers, as well as heart disease and COPD. In Singapore, 18.4% of men and 3.8% of women smoke, with long-term smokers over the age of 50 facing the highest health risks. Early screening is crucial to detecting potential issues before they become serious.
At Regis Medical, we provide dedicated health screening services tailored for smokers and second-hand smokers, giving you the opportunity to take control of your health and make informed decisions for a healthier future.

CT Lung Scan
The Smoker's Screening package includes CT Lung Scan. CT lung scans are a crucial screening tool for individuals with a history of smoking, as they provide detailed and comprehensive images of the lungs. It is effective in detecting early signs of lung disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer, often before symptoms develop.
Early detection through CT lung scans enables timely medical intervention, significantly improving treatment outcomes and helping to manage and mitigate the health risks associated with smoking. Regular CT lung screenings are recommended for smokers and former smokers to ensure ongoing lung health and early diagnosis of potential issues.

Why is Health Screening Important for Smokers
Detect Lung Disease Early
Smoking increases the risk of lung cancer, COPD, and other respiratory diseases. Early screening helps catch problems before symptoms appear.
Assess Heart & Blood Vessel Health
Smokers have a higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Screenings can detect high blood pressure, cholesterol issues, and circulation problems early.
Peace of Mind for You & Your Family
Knowing your health status helps you make informed choices, reducing worry for both you and your family. Early detection also means early intervention, and more years of healthy life.
