OBSTETRICS AND GYNECOLOGY SCREENING AND HEALTHCARE FOR FEMALE EMPLOYEES: A TAILORED SOLUTION FOR ENTERPRISES (PART 2)

In recent years, many businesses have shifted their approach from "periodic health check-ups" to "health resource management" as a core component of their sustainable development strategy. Particularly, with the female workforce accounting for an increasing proportion of professional and managerial roles, Obstetrics and Gynecology health has become a factor that directly impacts organizational performance and stability. 

In this newsletter, CarePlus shares in-depth insights into women’s health and recommends practical healthcare solutions to help businesses comprehensively protect their workforce. 

1/ Gynecological health risks: A critical area business should prioritize 
Data from corporate health screening programs at CarePlus in the first quarter of 2026 revealed notable obstetric and gynecological issues, including: 

• Gynecological infections 
• HPV infection 
• Pre-cancerous lesions 
• Cervical cancer 

Currently, most corporate health packages already include basic Pap smear for cervical screening. However, its sensitivity for early detection of precancerous lesions remains limited. 
Therefore, many enterprises are upgrading to Liquid-based Paps - Pathtezt an improved cervical cytology method with liquid-based processing and automation, delivering clearer samples and higher diagnostic accuracy. 
A growing trend is the Co-test approach, combining Liquid-based Paps - Pathtezt and PCR HPV Genotype, enabling a more comprehensive screening from lesion detection to identifying HPV as the root cause. 

Key benefits of Co-test: 

• Early detection of HPV and cervical cancer risk, even before symptoms  
• Higher diagnostic accuracy, reducing missed abnormalities  
• Extended screening interval up to 3–5 years if results are normal, optimizing long-term cost  
• Shift from routine screening to proactive health risk management  

👉 A strategic upgrade that strengthens employee healthcare programs, improves retention, and optimizes long-term investment in workforce health. 

2/ Female Hormones: A Factor Directly Affecting Productivity and Talent Retention 
Fluctuations in estrogen and progesterone hormones, especially among female employees aged 40 and above, can cause various physical changes: 

• Hormonal imbalances 
• Menstrual disorders 
• Menopause 
• Nutritional deficiencies or overweight/obesity 

This group often includes employees aged 40 and above—highly experienced individuals who play critical roles within the organization. Companies may consider incorporating female hormonal health checks for long-tenured staff or those within the appropriate age group. 
Beyond the health benefits, this also serves as an effective talent retention strategy—demonstrating a company’s commitment to employee well-being, strengthening long-term engagement, and offering a differentiated, high-value benefit. 

Best Practices from Leading Enterprises 
Many leading enterprises implement supplemental check-ups approximately 6 months after the annual health screening, focusing specifically on gynecology and dentistry. This model helps maintain continuous health monitoring, detects potential disease risks early, and contributes to optimizing the long-term effectiveness of employee wellness programs. 
Female personnel are a core part of human resources, directly influencing the performance, stability, and sustainable growth of a business. Therefore, investing in Obstetrics and Gynecology healthcare is an essential and far-sighted necessity.
