HEALTH, wellness and beauty retailer Watsons Philippines continues to champion accessible healthcare through meaningful partnerships that empower Filipinos to take charge of their health.
With diabetes remaining one of the country’s most pressing health concerns, affecting millions of Filipinos and often going undetected until serious complications arise, the need for accessible screening, education, and early intervention has never been more critical.
Recognizing this challenge, Watsons has been working alongside Diabetes Philippines Inc. to bring preventive healthcare closer to communities nationwide.
Since the partnership began, they have worked together to bridge healthcare gaps through education, awareness, and community-based health services.
A key milestone of the partnership was the launch of the Diabetes Educator Program, which equipped Watsons pharmacists with specialized training to provide patients with reliable information and support on diabetes prevention and management.
Building on this initiative, Watsons and Diabetes Philippines expanded their efforts through the Screen, Treat, Optimize, Promote (STOP) Diabetes Program, which offers free diabetes screening, health assessments and consultations at selected Watsons stores nationwide.
Watsons Philippines Managing Director Danilo Chiong and Diabetes Philippines President Fatma Tiu both expressed appreciation for the success of their STOP Diabetes Program collaboration.
