Bacolod Health Guide: Getting Your Health Check-ups

Heart disease killed 111,896 Filipinos from January to November 2025, making it the country's number one cause of death for another year, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA). Most of the conditions behind it, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, can be found years earlier with a simple blood test.

With Hati Health, getting checked in Bacolod takes minutes. Choose a Hati Health package online, pay an online-exclusive price, and walk in the next morning. Packages start at ₱780, with no booking fees and a free medical concierge to help you.

This guide covers why a yearly check-up matters, how much it costs in Bacolod, where to go, what each package tests for, and exactly how to prepare.

Why should Filipinos get a yearly health check-up?

Because the biggest health threats in the Philippines are silent until they're serious. Here's what the latest national data shows:

• Heart disease is the top killer. Ischaemic heart disease caused 19.7% of all deaths in the country from January to November 2025. Diabetes ranked fifth, with 34,611 deaths (PSA, 2026).

• 1 in 3 adults has high blood pressure, and half don't know it. The PRESYON 5 study by the Philippine Heart Association found hypertension in 34% of Filipino adults in 2026. Among them, 49% were unaware of their condition. Another 25.1% of adults were already pre-hypertensive.

• About 1 in 10 Filipinos has hepatitis B. The World Health Organization (WHO) and DOH estimate that around 1 in 10 people in the Philippines have hepatitis B, and many don't know their status. Left untreated, chronic hepatitis B can lead to liver cirrhosis or liver cancer.

High blood pressure, high cholesterol, early diabetes and hepatitis B often cause no symptoms at all. A yearly check-up is how you catch them while they're still easy to manage. Your results then give your doctor a baseline to compare against next year.

Full body check-up in Bacolod: what's included?

• Heart (12 tests): total, HDL and LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, ApoA1, ApoB, Lp(a), hs-Troponin I, CK, CK-MB, CK-MM, LDH

This package directly targets the PSA's top causes of death. The heart panel goes beyond a basic cholesterol test to include ApoB and Lp(a), and HbA1c shows your average blood sugar over the past three months, not just on the day of your test.

Fast for 10 hours before your visit. Water is allowed. Book your free doctor consult from My Prepaid Services after your results arrive, so your physician can walk you through every number.

How much is an annual physical exam (Basic 5) in Bacolod?

The Annual Physical Examination (Basic 5) costs ₱780 when you book on Hati Health, down from ₱990. It's the standard pre-employment medical that most Bacolod employers, BPOs and schools ask for, and it takes about 30 minutes.

What's included:

• Complete Blood Count with Platelet Count (CBCPC): checks for anemia, infection and platelet problems

• Routine urinalysis: screens for urinary tract infection and kidney issues

• Chest X-ray (PA view): checks your lungs and heart size

• Stool exam (fecalysis): screens for parasites and digestive problems

• Complete physical examination: vital signs, including blood pressure, and a full physical by a doctor

No preparation is needed, and you don't need to fast. Bring one valid government ID.

Where can I get an STD test in Bacolod?

You can get a confidential STD test in Bacolod with Hati Health's Sexual Health Screening – Basic for ₱2,500.. You book and pay online, then walk in with your confirmation. No phone calls, no explaining yourself at the front desk.

What's included:

• Complete Blood Count with Platelet Count

• Routine urinalysis

• Hepatitis B screening (HBsAg)

• Hepatitis C screening (Anti-HCV)

• Syphilis screening (RPR & TP-PA)

Testing matters because sexually transmitted infections are common and often silent. The DOH recorded 2,994 new HIV cases from April to June 2026, an average of 33 a day, and Western Visayas was among the five regions with the most new diagnoses. More than 9 in 10 of those cases were passed on through sexual contact (DOH HIV/AIDS Surveillance, via SunStar).

The basic screening does not include HIV, so add the HIV Screening Test when you book and get ₱150 off the bundle.

Get screened if you have a new partner, are planning a pregnancy, or notice burning, unusual discharge, pain during sex or frequent urination. Avoid testing during your period: you need no menstruation or spotting for at least 3 days beforehand.
