National Health Screening is a preventive-care benefit built into the health insurance system, offering subscribers and their dependents a general checkup on a set cycle (and cancer screenings depending on age) largely for free or at low cost. Eligible people typically get a notice by mail or app telling them when and where to go.
A cosmetic-surgery voucher and a tour package are unrelated commercial offerings, not something the public insurance system provides. The screening program is specifically preventive medical care, not a lifestyle perk.
Because the checkups can catch early-stage conditions before symptoms appear, many long-term residents make a habit of never skipping their scheduled cycle, treating it as routine maintenance rather than optional extra care.
