What is a Vitality Health Check?
The Vitality Health Check is a basic health screening for eligible Discovery Vitality members. A healthcare professional measures a set of key health indicators, and the results are recorded on your Vitality profile. Dr Omar is a Discovery Vitality Health Check provider at Riverside Mall, Rondebosch.
What is measured?
Discovery decides which measurements are included and may change them over time. They commonly include:
- Blood pressure
- Height, weight and waist measurements
- Cholesterol, measured with a finger-prick test
- Blood glucose (sugar), measured with a finger-prick test
Dr Omar explains your results and discusses anything that needs follow-up. A screening check is not a diagnosis. If a result is outside the expected range, you may need further tests or a separate consultation.
