Health Screening
for Transport Warriors
Affordable Health Screening for Private Hire Car and Taxi Drivers
Shift work, fatigue, long driving hours and irregular schedules are factors that can take a heavy toll on any private hire car and taxi drivers. Having to deal with a physically sedentary lifestyle while on the road can have serious health implications and could result in a higher risk of developing chronic medical conditions such as hypertension, heart diseases, diabetes, and high cholesterol.
According to an article in the Singapore Medical Journal, the proportion of taxi drivers with self-reported medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes and high cholesterol was relatively higher than that of the general Singapore population.
Recognising the contributions of our private hire car and taxi drivers who have been working tirelessly round the clock to ease our daily commute, we are offering basic non-fasting health screening for all ‘Transport Warriors’ at an affordable rate of just $16 (U.P. $32) at three (3) conveniently located health screening centres (TheTestingPOD) across Singapore.
The health screening encompasses measurement of body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure, blood tests for glucose and cholesterol as well as Urine FEME to determine protein, cells, sugar and salt levels. In addition to the standard laboratory test report and as part of this initiative, we will be providing a detailed, illustrative and easy to comprehend Health Screening Assessment & Analysis Report (HSAAR).
Preferential rates are also available for our ‘Transport Warriors’ who wish to upgrade to more comprehensive health screening packages.
Book your health screening appointment NOW until 15 Jan 2023 before slots are fully taken up! You may also walk-in to any of the three (3) conveniently located health screening centres (TheTestingPOD).

It is known to be a more accurate measurement for persons at risk than the commonly used measurement of fasting glucose.
