An agreement will be made official by Fujifilm Philippines
and Shinagawa Healthcare Solutions Corporation to offer cutting-edge technology
to patients. Fujifilm Philippines is a major supplier of digital imaging and
healthcare solutions.
According to Masahiro Uehara, president of Fujifilm
Philippines, with this collaboration, the two businesses hope to leverage their
own strengths to offer patients cutting-edge, high-quality healthcare
solutions.
“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.
As a sales subsidiary of Fujifilm’s regional headquarters in
the Asia Pacific, Fujifilm Philippines was established in 2012. The company’s
main goal is to supply the Philippine market with high-quality goods and
services in industries like electronics, picture imaging, industrial products,
graphic design, and medical systems. In 2019, the business established its
first branch in Cebu to satisfy the rising demand for its products and
guarantee a constant level of quality. Also, by giving additional regional
support to consumers in the provinces of the Visayas and adjacent Mindanao,
Fujifilm Philippines was able to better serve them.
Fujifilm Philippines installed the FDR Go PLUS, a digital
mobile X-ray machine that aided in diagnosing COVID-19 patients, to support
neighborhood hospitals during the pandemic’s peak in 2020. The FDR nano and the
FUJIFILM COVID-19 Ag Test Kit, which are anticipated to aid medical
professionals in diagnosing and screening for COVID-19, were both approved by
the FDA for the company. In order to serve the front lines of medicine and
advance human health, the company is dedicated to providing a range of goods
and services.
