It’s the year’s end and medical checkup facilities across the country are enjoying their busiest periods now. As the quality of living rises in China, those with deeper pockets and better awareness of health and wellness are more willing to invest in preventive medicine, especially the voluntary medical checkup.

"Medical checkups are part of staff welfare in my company. No one gives them up now,” says Long Qichao, who works with a tourism investment company based in Wuhan, Hubei’s provincial capital.

"Health matters a lot. Nowadays it is very expensive if you fall ill, and only early diagnosis can save both life and money. Besides, our company has already paid for the service.”

The company Long works for has about 90 employees. In October, they all went to an exclusive high-end medical checkup center for a thorough physical examination.

For many like Long, medical checkups have become an important part of preventive healthcare.
