Fujifilm, Makati to provide free ultrasound to residents

MANILA, Philippines — 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.

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.

“At Fujifilm Philippines, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their socioeconomic background. By collaborating with the city government of Makati, we can reach more individuals and provide them with the diagnostic services they need to maintain their health and well-being,” he said.

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.

Makati is the second local government unit in the country to partner with Fujifilm Philippines after its successful medical mission and TB screening program in Majayjay, Laguna last year. The free ultrasound and x-ray program for Makati residents will run until November.
