For anyone to succeed in life, he / she needs to be more healthy. Health is not the mere absence of disease, but a state of physical, mental and social well being of the person. Or, it is a comprehensive health than some aspects of health. To achieve better health, preventive measures are considered more
.
Hence Master Health Checkup (MHC) is emphasized. Even those, who feel that they are very healthy, should take up MHC every year, to confirm their good health and also to know the problems, if any, in the early stage itself. It is a very good practice to maintain ones health and to improve quality of life.

Similarly a company, whether small or big, needs to be very healthy in order to make a reasonable profit and grow reasonably every year. To ensure corporate health, companies must have more systems, best practices and effective strategies. In other words, companies are to be run more professionally and with more teamwork.
