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.
