Al-Borg Medical Laboratories has announced special Ramadan offers under its Sehaty Blueprint program, which is considered as a new concept and the third generation of the periodic health checkup programs.

Given the importance of medical tests during and after fasting in the holy month of Ramadan, people suffering from chronic diseases in particular need to take some health precautions. Women during their pregnancy should take precautions and appropriate measures in consultation with physicians.

Al-Borg Medical Laboratories’ Medical Director Dr. Hisham Shams stated: “Ramadan fasting provides an ideal opportunity for lab tests and health checkups. This is because most medical tests need the patient to be fasting for a certain number of hours prescribed by a physician. This is based on the type of tests required to be conducted. It is considered as a golden opportunity to check and monitor the health and conduct periodic tests during Ramadan.”

Dr. Shams added: Those suffering from chronic diseases should take all the medical measures during the holy month in order to ensure stability and balance of the body. They must follow the physician’s instructions and conduct the required periodic tests to detect any disorder that may adversely affect their health during fasting.”

He stressed that those doing periodic tests after Ramadan fasting and following balanced health methods, especially those associated with dietary habits, will benefit from fasting during the holy month without health complications.

Dr. Shams added: “The Sehaty Blueprint program represents an important addition to the periodic services provided by Al Borg Laboratories; the program involves laboratory tests covering important body organs and include the circulatory system (heart), pancreas (diabetes), kidney (urinary tract) and liver, in addition to some other tests according to sex and age."
