Medical Examination

The Austrian Health Service recommends a preventive health examination called a »Gesunden- or Vorsorgeuntersuchung« once a year. This examination takes approximately half an hour. It consists of a full medical examination, blood test and urine test. You will need an extra appointment to discuss the results.These tests are free of charge.
