Fujifilm Philippines, a leading provider of digital imaging and healthcare solutions, signed a memorandum of agreement with Shinagawa Healthcare Solutions Corporation to bring advanced technology to patients.
Masahiro
Uehara, Fujifilm Philippines President, said that through this partnership, the
two companies aim to combine their strengths to deliver innovative and
high-quality healthcare solutions to patients.
"We are
thrilled to partner with Shinagawa Healthcare Solutions Corporation to provide
better healthcare services to patients in the Philippines. Our advanced
technology and expertise in the healthcare industry, combined with Shinagawa's
commitment to providing personalized care, will enable us to deliver innovative
and high-quality healthcare solutions to patients in the Philippines," he
said.
Shinagawa
Healthcare Solutions Corporation, a subsidiary of the country's top Lasik
provider, Shinagawa Lasik & Aesthetics Center Corporation, is set to open a
diagnostic and preventive care center in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, next
month. It will be the first Japanese standard health facility in the
Philippines that focuses on preventive care.
Through the
collaboration, Uehara said Fujifilm will bring its innovative equipment to
Shinagawa Diagnostic and Preventive Care Center to offer quick and comfortable
procedures to patients.
These
include the Eluxeo Lite 6000, an endoscopy machine that features Multi-Light
Technology to deliver high-quality imaging and superior visibility for enhanced
patient comfort through flexible scope options.
Another key
instrument is the Supria 128 Slice CT Scan Machine, which offers painless and
low-dose scanning capabilities. It also produces high-speed and top-notch
quality images with lower power consumption.
The Amulet
Innovality is a mammogram machine designed with ergonomic armrests to ensure
patient comfort and secure positioning, producing quick image intervals of just
15 seconds.
Fujifilm's
FDR Smart X x-ray machine offers advanced functionality and compatibility with
any X-ray system, delivering high image quality for precise and accurate
results.
Meanwhile,
the Arietta Series is an ultrasound machine renowned for its broad diagnostic
capabilities and top-notch imaging quality, producing reliable results that
help with immediate critical surgical decisions.
"Fujifilm
Philippines' commitment to quality and innovation aligns with their vision to
provide exceptional healthcare services. We are thrilled to partner with them
to bring their state-of-the-art imaging technology to our patients in the
Philippines. Together, we can make a significant impact on the healthcare
industry, revolutionizing the way healthcare is delivered and
experienced," he said.
Prevention
is key
Masako
Uemori, Shinagawa President, said the partnership will enable them to provide
patients with the best possible care.
"We
believe that investing in preventive care is not only a wise decision but also
a responsible one. By breaking the social stigma of reactive care and shifting
our mindset towards proactive prevention, we can help Filipinos achieve better
health outcomes and ultimately lead more fulfilling lives," she said.
Aside from
Japanese standard health checkups, Shinagawa Diagnostic and Preventive Care
Center will offer brain exams (MRI/MRA), full body exams (CT scan), digestive
exams (ultrasound/endoscopy), health exams for women (mammography/ultrasound),
laboratory, and allergy tests.
Uemori said
Shinagawa will partner with health maintenance organizations (HMOs) in the
country to provide accessible, affordable, and comprehensive medical services
to Filipinos.
She also
said they plan to promote health and wellness through events and seminars to
raise public awareness about their overall well-being.
"Our
success in the field of eye care has enabled us to build a reputation as a
leader in the industry. Our commitment to the latest technologies and Japanese
standards for medical services has helped us to earn the trust of our patients,
and we are proud to continue to deliver exceptional care that exceeds their
expectations," Uemori added.
The future
of healthcare
Uemori said
Shinagawa's new Diagnostic & Preventive Care Center is committed to
providing comprehensive and personalized healthcare plans that contribute to
the early detection and prevention of disease.
She said the
company's comprehensive medical examination process is designed to identify
potential health issues before they become major problems, allowing for
proactive intervention and treatment.
Combined
with Fujifilm's cutting-edge and high-performance machines, Shinagawa's
state-of-the-art facility will enable doctors and health professionals to
perform procedures quickly, comfortably, and stress-free for patients.
Diagnosis and analysis will also have double reading by their partner Japanese
doctors who have extensive experience in the field of preventive care.
Shinagawa
will also implement an efficient and streamlined operation using the Japanese
Health Checkup Information System. With same-day results, patients can receive
timely and accurate diagnoses and treatment plans without the added stress of
waiting.
Innovative
imaging technology
Fuji Photo
Film Co., Ltd. (now FUJIFILM Holdings Corporation) was established in 1934 to
produce high-quality photographic films. Within the first decade of its
establishment, the company expanded its production to include motion pictures
and X-ray films, in addition to its original focus on photographic films.
In 2012,
Fujifilm Philippines was founded as a sales subsidiary of Fujifilm's regional
headquarters in the Asia Pacific. The company primarily focuses on providing
high-quality products and services to the Philippine market in areas such as
electronics, photo imaging, industrial products, graphic design, and medical
systems. To meet the increasing demand for its offerings and ensure consistent
quality, the company opened its first branch in Cebu in 2019. This move also
enabled Fujifilm Philippines to better serve customers in the Visayas and
nearby Mindanao provinces by providing them with more localized support.
During the
height of the pandemic in 2020, Fujifilm Philippines supported local hospitals
by installing the FDR Go PLUS, a digital mobile X-ray system that aided in
diagnosing COVID-19 patients. The company also received FDA approval for the
FDR nano and the FUJIFILM COVID-19 Ag Test Kit, which are expected to help
healthcare workers diagnose and screen for COVID-19.
The company
is committed to supplying various products and services to support the medical
frontline and promote human health.
