Comprehensive Health Checks for Long-Lasting Wellbeing

In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining good health is more crucial than ever. The pressures of modern life, coupled with high stress levels, demand that we prioritise our well-being and that of our families. Preventive healthcare, including regular check-ups and vaccinations, plays a key role in this, alongside healthy habits such as proper nutrition, sufficient sleep, and regular physical activity

For children, systematic check-ups are tailored to their age. During the first year, paediatricians conduct regular examinations, tracking the child’s growth and development while providing essential guidance and support to parents.

As children grow, additional specialists, including physiotherapists, ENT specialists, ophthalmologists, dentists, and speech therapists, contribute to these routine check-ups. For adults, annual health assessments, supported by diagnostic tests and laboratory analyses, are recommended across a range of medical specialisations.

Vaccination schedules for children are typically followed according to national guidelines, with additional vaccines suggested based on a child’s age. However, many adults have not received vaccinations since the age of 18. Research shows that the efficacy of vaccines decreases over time, which is why booster shots every decade are advised for many vaccines. This is especially relevant for tetanus, which can lead to severe complications from open wounds, and pertussis (whooping cough), where prolonged coughing can cause various health issues. Diseases like diphtheria and polio, nearly eradicated due to vaccines, should not be forgotten, and modern vaccines often combine protection against multiple conditions.

At the Polyclinic “Dr. Raketić” , children’s systematic check-ups are efficiently organised, with teams of specialists ensuring a comprehensive health assessment in a single visit

Adults are frequently unvaccinated against pneumococcal infections, which can lead to serious issues such as pneumonia, meningitis, or sepsis. Moreover, influenza significantly raises the risk of heart attacks, strokes, pneumonia, and worsening of chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease and diabetes. An annual flu vaccine, designed for each season, is therefore strongly recommended. In addition to flu shots, vaccines are also available for adults to protect against diseases such as tick-borne encephalitis, meningococcal meningitis, and herpes zoster, among others.

At the Polyclinic “Dr. Raketić”, children’s health is comprehensively assessed by a team of specialists, ensuring that all evaluations are conducted efficiently in a single location. Vaccination is recommended in accordance with both national and international guidelines for required and recommended immunisations, using only top-quality vaccines from globally renowned manufacturers.

The Polyclinic “Dr. Raketić” also offers systematic health check-ups for adults. These include evaluations by general practitioners and ophthalmologists, pulse oximetry, blood pressure measurement, ECG, and laboratory tests. Women undergo ultrasound examinations of the abdomen and thyroid gland, while men receive abdominal and prostate ultrasounds. During these check-ups, doctors review vaccination records to determine if any booster shots or new vaccines are required.
