Why Choose the Extensive Health Check-up in Ho Chi Minh City

The Extensive Health Check-up broadens the scope of preventive screening well beyond a standard programme. It's designed for adults who already have health risk factors, unusual past results, or a family history of chronic disease, and want a deeper baseline assessment.

The programme adds three important layers that a Standard Check-up doesn't cover: an abdominal ultrasound to examine the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen; a wider metabolic panel including uric acid, calcium, and thyroid function; and full hepatitis B and C screening. Hepatitis B and C are leading causes of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, and are more common in Southeast Asia than in most Western countries, so screening is particularly relevant for international visitors to the region.

At around USD 289, this is one of Asia's best value in-depth check-ups. Comparable programmes in Singapore or Bangkok typically cost 2 to 3 times more, without significant clinical differences at a JCI-accredited hospital like FV.

Who This Programme Is For

  • Adults with metabolic risk factors such as high blood sugar, cholesterol, or blood pressure
  • Those with abnormal past test results or a family history of chronic disease
  • Long-term expats or frequent travellers to Southeast Asia wanting hepatitis screening
  • Adults seeking a more in-depth baseline than a standard check-up
  • Individuals planning long-term, regular annual health monitoring

Standard vs Extensive vs Executive: Which Programme to Choose

FV Hospital offers three levels of comprehensive check-up. The Extensive Programme is the middle option and hits a strong balance of depth and value:

  • Standard Programme (from USD 178): essential baseline for healthy adults with no known risk factors.
  • Extensive Programme (from USD 289, this page): broader scope with abdominal ultrasound, thyroid function, uric acid, and full hepatitis panel. Best for adults with risk factors or a family history of chronic disease.
  • Executive Programme (from USD 619): advanced imaging, comprehensive cancer screening, and personalised preventive planning.
  • Wellness Programme for Women or Men (from USD 1,530): premium gender-specific care with the widest range of tests and specialist consultations.
