FUJIFILM Philippines, a leading provider of innovative imaging and healthcare solutions, has partnered with the City Government of Makati to provide free, high-quality diagnostic services to residents through its weekly caravan in various barangays.
The weekly Makati Lingkod Bayan Caravan provides residents with a wide range of diagnostic services, including general check-ups, blood pressure monitoring, blood sugar screening, and consultations with healthcare professionals.
FUJIFILM Philippines started offering Makati residents free ultrasound services on April 20.
The company continues to set up booths every week in barangays where the Makati Lingkod Bayan Caravan is held to augment health services provided by the Makati Health Department and the Ospital ng Makati. FUJIFILM Philippines utilizes the Arietta series machine for general ultrasound to diagnostics. This initiative not only assists in early detection but also encourages the public to take proactive steps toward managing their health.
The company also brought its flagship product, the FDR Xair, a portable X-ray device that can help local healthcare providers screen for tuberculosis. Weighing only 3.5 kg, the FDR Xair is highly portable and can function without electricity for hours. It provides a much-needed screening solution at any given point in time and can be used in various medical treatment settings, such as patients’ homes, isolation wards, and remote areas.
Masahiro Uehara, president of FUJIFILM Philippines, said that through this partnership, the company is reinforcing its commitment to improving access to essential healthcare services for communities in Makati.
“FUJIFILM Philippines aims to bring more smiles to Filipinos through innovative products and services. We believe that collaborating with the Makati LGU through the Makati Lingkod Bayan Caravan will help us extend our assistance to even more people. Thanks to Mayor Abby’s support and the local government, we were able to participate in this meaningful activity,” he said
Uehara said Makati’s initiative to bring health services closer to residents aligns with Fujifilm’s purpose to bring more smiles to Filipinos. The company continues to collaborate with governments, international organizations, civil society, and the private sector to address healthcare challenges.
