I Haven’t Had a Health Check for a While
You feel generally well but realise it has been some time since your health was reviewed properly.
PREVENTIVE HEALTH | BUSINESS BAY, DUBAI
Health Check in Business Bay, Dubai
Understand where your health stands before something becomes the reason you finally book.
You do not need to feel unwell to see a doctor.
A preventive health check gives you an opportunity to review your current health, medical history, previous results, medications and relevant risk factors before deciding what actually needs attention.
At AAMC Polyclinic, the goal is not to order the longest possible list of tests. Your preventive review starts with the wider medical picture.
From there, Dr. Jose Lopez can help decide which checks, screening or follow-up may be useful for you.
Consultation with Dr. Jose Lopez, Internal Medicine — AED 600 (about 40 minutes). Any tests are quoted before they're done.
Self-pay clinic. We give you an itemised invoice and help you complete your insurance reimbursement form so you can claim from your insurer.

WHY ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT A HEALTH CHECK?
What Do You Want to Understand About Your Health?
People book preventive health reviews for different reasons.
You do not need to choose your own tests before coming in.
I Want to Check My General Health
You want a clearer picture of areas such as blood pressure, metabolic health, previous blood results and other relevant health risks.
I Have a Family History I Want to Discuss
Certain health conditions in your family may affect which preventive conversations or screening are relevant to you.
I Have Old or Abnormal Results
You already have laboratory reports or health-check results and want to understand what they mean and whether anything needs follow-up.
I Take Regular Medication
You want your current medications and general health reviewed together rather than looking at one issue in isolation.
I Feel Well but Want to Stay Proactive
Preventive care is not only for people with symptoms. A review can help identify which health areas deserve attention now and which can simply continue to be monitored.
A health check should be based on the person, not just a standard test menu.
PREVENTION WITH A PURPOSE
A Health Check Should Give You More Than a List of Numbers
Many health-check packages are built around how many tests they include.
More tests do not automatically mean a more useful health review.
Preventive care works best when screening and testing have a reason behind them.
What matters can depend on areas such as:
- Your age
- Medical history
- Family history
- Current medication
- Previous results
- Blood pressure
- Metabolic health
- Lifestyle
- Existing risk factors
- Symptoms, if any
- Previous screening
The purpose of the visit is to identify what is relevant to you and what deserves follow-up.
THE GOAL IS NOT MORE TESTS. THE GOAL IS BETTER INFORMATION.
Clinical preventive recommendations are designed around the balance of benefit and harm for particular populations rather than one universal screening list for every adult.
YOUR PREVENTIVE HEALTH REVIEW
What Happens During a Health Check at AAMC?
- 01
Start With Your Health History
Discuss existing medical conditions, previous diagnoses, family history and anything you want reviewed.
- 02
Review Current Medication and Lifestyle
Current medications, supplements, sleep, activity, eating patterns and other relevant factors can provide useful context.
- 03
Review Existing Results
Bring recent blood tests, screening reports or other medical records if you already have them. You do not automatically need to repeat everything.
- 04
Review Relevant Health Risks
The consultation can consider areas such as blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol and other risks depending on your individual situation.
- 05
Decide Which Checks Are Useful
Dr. Jose can decide whether any additional laboratory testing, screening or other investigation is clinically appropriate.
- 06
Understand the Results
Results should be explained in the context of your overall health rather than delivered as unexplained numbers.
- 07
Leave With a Clear Next Step
Depending on the assessment, you may need no immediate action, monitoring, lifestyle changes, further testing, treatment review or another type of medical follow-up.
Not every patient needs the same tests or screening.
YOUR HEALTH IN CONTEXT
What Can a Preventive Health Review Look At?
These are areas that may be reviewed depending on your situation — not a fixed package.
- Cardiovascular Health
- Blood pressure and relevant cardiovascular risk factors can be considered alongside your history and previous results.
- Blood Sugar & Metabolic Health
- Existing glucose, HbA1c or other metabolic results can be reviewed when relevant.
- Cholesterol
- Previous cholesterol or lipid results can be considered together with other health factors rather than as one isolated number.
- Weight & Metabolic Concerns
- Weight can be reviewed as one part of the wider medical picture. If medical weight management becomes the main goal, see Medical Weight Management in Dubai.
- Medication Review
- Regular medications and supplements may be relevant when looking at overall health and preventive care.
- Family History
- Family medical history may influence which risks deserve discussion.
- Previous Screening
- Bring previous screening records or reports when available so the consultation can build on what has already been done.
- Lifestyle & Daily Health
- Sleep, physical activity, nutrition, smoking or other lifestyle factors may be relevant depending on the patient's situation.
CHECK WHAT IS RELEVANT
Which Tests Are Included in a Health Check?
There is no universal test list for every patient.
The appropriate checks depend on your health history, age, existing risks, previous results and what the doctor is trying to understand.
Some people may already have useful recent results. Others may need further testing after the consultation.
The important question is not:
“How many tests are in the package?”
It is:
“Which information would actually help us understand my health?”
At AAMC, preventive testing should be selected because it has a clinical reason.
THE RESULTS NEED CONTEXT
Already Had a Health Check Somewhere Else?
You do not need to start from zero.
If you already have blood tests, screening reports, imaging reports or previous health-check results, bring them to the consultation.
A result marked high or low does not always tell you what it means for your health. Dr. Jose can review previous information alongside:
- Your medical history
- Current medications
- Other results
- Current symptoms, if any
- Family history
- Relevant risk factors
The next step may be monitoring, further investigation, treatment review or simply reassurance that no immediate action is needed.
ONE CHECK SHOULD NOT FIT EVERYBODY
Looking for an Annual or Full Body Health Check?
People use different terms when searching for preventive care:
- Annual health check
- General health check
- Medical check-up
- Preventive health screening
- Comprehensive health check
- Full body checkup
- Executive health check
At AAMC, these searches lead to the same basic principle:
Start with the person, not the package name.
A preventive review can look at your current health and decide what screening or testing is relevant rather than applying the same fixed checklist to every adult.

Payment
AAMC currently provides patient-paid outpatient care rather than direct insurance billing.
Patients may submit reimbursement claims where their individual policy allows. AAMC can provide relevant billing documentation where appropriate.
Coverage and reimbursement depend on the insurer and individual policy. AAMC does not guarantee reimbursement.
BEFORE YOUR HEALTH CHECK
Bring What You Already Have
You do not need to arrange tests before the appointment. Where available, bring:
- Recent blood-test results
- Previous health-screening reports
- Imaging or specialist reports
- Current medication list
- Supplements
- Known medical conditions
- Relevant family medical history
- Home blood-pressure or glucose readings if relevant
- Questions you want to discuss
You can still book if you do not have previous records.
Do not stop prescribed medication or begin fasting simply because you booked a health check. Preparation depends on which tests, if any, are eventually arranged.
