**Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India – May 5, 2025** – The Advanced Master Health Checkup Centre at the Tamil Nadu Government Multi Super Speciality Hospital (TNGMSSH) in Chennai is celebrating a significant milestone, having conducted over 75,000 preventive health checks since its launch in 2018. The centre’s affordable packages and convenient location have attracted a large number of patients, not only from Chennai but also from across Tamil Nadu.

The centre offers four tiered packages ranging from ₹1,000 to ₹4,000, providing a comprehensive range of tests including blood work, ECGs, X-rays, ultrasounds, and more advanced options like mammograms and DEXA scans. The high demand, particularly for the more comprehensive packages, highlights a growing awareness of preventative healthcare in the region. According to hospital officials, the centre sees 50-55 patients daily, with a significant portion being women.

Early detection of serious health issues is a major success of the program. Since opening, the centre has diagnosed over 10,000 cases of Type 2 diabetes, nearly 8,000 cases of hypertension, and hundreds of cases of more serious conditions such as coronary artery disease and various cancers. This early detection allows for prompt treatment and improved patient outcomes.

Hospital administrators emphasize the shift in public perception regarding preventative health checks. Initially, there was hesitancy due to fears of receiving unfavorable diagnoses, but this has lessened as the centre focuses on lifestyle modifications and minimizing medication where possible. The centre also notes that the onset of various diseases is increasingly appearing in younger populations, highlighting the importance of early and regular screening regardless of age.

The centre’s success demonstrates the effectiveness of affordable and accessible preventive healthcare in identifying and managing chronic diseases, offering a valuable model for other healthcare systems. Appointments can be made by calling 73388 35555 between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays or via SMS.
