Low Cost check up for Chronic Illness for age 40 to 49

Government has announced an initiative to provide low cost medical checkup for chronic illness like diabetes, hypertension, etc.

This is a good initiative, but before you jump into it, this is my advice.

At least 6 months before you decide to do it, review all your medical insurance and life insurance needs.

Medical insurance like the Shield Plan and your protection and especially the critical illness needs, before you decide to take the checkup.

Well and good, after the test, you are certified healthy, BUT, if something crop up, then it will be a problem to get insured especially for Shield Plan without exclusion.

Perhaps Ministry of Health and CPF Board should come together to offer the Shield Plan first before one takes up the test.

This is just my advice that if you intend to do the checkup, do your own review first.
