SGE runs pilot health check
SGE international Eindhoven recently piloted a health check with internationals. A preparatory questionnaire and blood test were followed by consultations with a GP, dietician, physical therapist and life-coach. Participants received feedback and specific advice where required.
When surveyed afterwards, participants gave very positive feedback on the health check. They would like to see this kind of health check offered on a regular basis and would be willing to pay a reasonable fee for this ‘checkup’ which is not covered by Dutch health insurance. With the survey results and feedback of the professionals, SGE is further evaluating the health check.
