The Ministry of Health has announced a new Mandatory Wellness Screening Programme, effective from the start of next quarter. All citizens aged 18-65 who are registered for employment must complete an annual health and wellness screening.
Screening components
- Physical fitness assessment (cardiovascular, strength, flexibility)
- Mental wellness evaluation questionnaire
- Substance testing (drug and alcohol screening)
- Nutritional assessment and BMI measurement
- Vision and hearing tests
- Stress resilience assessment
Purpose
"A healthy citizen is a productive citizen," said Minister Natasha Volkov. "By identifying health issues early, we can ensure that citizens receive the treatment they need to maintain peak chargeability. Prevention is more cost-effective than lost productivity."
Integration with other systems
Screening results will be integrated with:
- CarlCare: Automatic referrals for identified health concerns
- COMPASS: Fitness-for-work assessment updates
- CDI Score: Health compliance component (up to 3% bonus for excellent results)
- UtiliTrack: Adjusted chargeability targets for citizens with identified limitations
Screening appointments will be allocated through the Citizen Services Portal. Citizens must attend within their assigned screening month. Failure to attend will result in CDI score deduction and potential suspension of non-essential services.
Citizens with concerns about the screening process may submit questions through the Help & Support section, though the screening itself is non-optional.
All citizens aged 18-65 must complete annual wellness screening. Results integrated with COMPASS and CDI score calculations.
