Health checkups are for healthy people.
Health checkups are conducted to pick out "people most likely to become ill" from "healthy people not aware of any symptoms, etc." and lead to early
detection and treatment of diseases.
If you have the opportunity to have physical examinations or company checkups elsewhere, please have a checkup there.
If you are aware of symptoms, please see your doctor as soon as possible, rather than have a health checkup. Those who are currently undergoingtreatments do not need to have health checkups.
