Knowledge is power and many health problems can be prevented with a little advanced knowledge. Irish Life Health offer members on selected plans a number of screening tests and programmes that can help detect cancer before signs and symptoms appear. Early detection enables members to optimise cancer treatment decisions with your medical team and plan for the best medical outcome for your diagnosis.

Early diagnosis is key to successful cancer treatment, and faster access to healthcare is one of the benefits of having private health insurance. As an Irish Life Health member you can avail of a number of benefits to help with this.
