Why Preventive Testing is Non-Negotiable in the UAE?
At Peshawar Healthcare, 65% of expats who undergo routine tests discover at least one undiagnosed health risk. According to the 2023 UAE Ministry of Health Report:
- 42% of adults have Vitamin D deficiency (rising to 58% in office workers)
- 1 in 5 show early signs of diabetes or prediabetes
- 30% have abnormal lipid profiles linked to heart disease
A single blood or urine test can reveal these silent threats before complications arise.
