Health check-ups
- EWEL Health check-up course A (one-day basic)
- EWEL Health check-up course B (one-day premium)
These examinations are done to prevent illnesses and discover issues early. Since many tests are carried out, these examinations can make it easier to discover illnesses with no subjective symptoms, as well as future risks, so it is recommended to have these examinations done regularly over time.
These examinations can be undertaken at EWEL's partner examination facilities throughout Japan.
