Watsons is Putting Free Health Screenings in 140+ Stores

Free health screenings at over 140 Watsons stores this July and August.

You’ve been meaning to get that blood pressure checked. You keep telling yourself you’ll schedule a fasting blood sugar test “next month.” You saw a post about liver disease and thought, I feel fine, so it probably doesn’t apply to me.

And then another month passes. Another “next month” comes and goes.

You’re not alone. For millions of Filipinos, a routine health check-up keeps getting bumped down the to-do list, behind work deadlines, grocery runs, tuition payments, and the quiet, comforting assumption that no symptoms means no problem.

But here’s the uncomfortable truth: hypertension, diabetes, anemia, osteoporosis, and liver disease don’t announce themselves with a dramatic entrance. They creep in silently. By the time you feel something is wrong, the window for easy, early intervention may have already narrowed.

What if the check-up came to you?
This July and August, Watsons Philippines is flipping the script on preventive healthcare. Instead of asking you to carve out a hospital appointment, take a half-day off work, and sit in a clinic waiting room, they’re putting free health screenings right where you already are inside the mall, between errands, on a Saturday afternoon when you’re already picking up sunscreen and vitamins.

Over 140 participating stores nationwide are offering the following services at zero cost:

• Iron Blood Test
• Reproductive Health Check-Up
• Bone Scanning
• Liver Screening
• Medical Consultation
• Cardiometabolic Screening – blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart-risk indicators
• Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) & Serum Uric Acid (SUA) Screening
• Bone and Anemia Screening

No HMO card fumbling. No “I’ll do it next month.” Just walk in during your regular shopping trip and walk out knowing a little more about what’s happening inside your body.
