**Chennai, India (May 5, 2025)** – The Advanced Master Health Checkup Centre at the Tamil Nadu Government Multi Super Speciality Hospital (TNGMSSH) in Chennai is experiencing a significant increase in demand for its affordable preventive health services. Since its launch in 2018, the centre has conducted over 75,000 checkups, leading to the early diagnosis of thousands of cases of diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, and other conditions.

The centre offers four packages ranging from ₹1,000 to ₹4,000, providing comprehensive tests including blood work, ECGs, X-rays, and specialized scans like mammograms and DEXA scans for bone density. The affordability and comprehensive nature of the packages, coupled with the convenient single-location access to specialists, have attracted patients from across Tamil Nadu.

Dr. R. Mani, director of TNGMSSH, highlighted the centre’s success, noting a daily influx of 50-55 patients. He emphasized the benefits of early detection through preventive checkups. Medical officer Priyanka Ravi observed a particularly high number of women utilizing the services, with the Platinum package (including mammograms and DEXA scans) proving highly popular.

V. Anand Kumar, nodal officer, noted a shift in public perception towards preventive health checks. He explained that the centre actively addresses patient anxieties regarding diagnosis by focusing on lifestyle modifications and minimizing medication where possible. The team also emphasizes that preventive screenings are beneficial at all ages, contrary to common misconceptions. The centre’s holistic approach includes dietitian consultations and readily available add-on tests.

The centre’s success demonstrates the growing demand for accessible and affordable preventive healthcare in India, and its impact on early disease detection and improved health outcomes. Bookings can be made by calling 73388 35555 between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays or via SMS.
