Okada Foundation Inc. (OFI), Okada Manila’s charitable arm, donated two fully equipped mobile clinic units to Ospital ng Parañaque Districts 1 and 2, supporting more accessible and community-based healthcare delivery.
The donation, valued at approximately PHP 39.6 million, equips both hospital units with a mobile clinic designed to support outreach programs and address the growing healthcare needs of Parañaque’s residents. This is especially critical for those in far-flung barangays, where access to routine check-ups, early diagnosis, and preventive care remains limited due to distance, mobility constraints, and the lack of nearby medical facilities.
“Okada Foundation Inc. is proud to support the City Government of Parañaque in bringing timely, reliable, and essential medical services to more communities. We believe that healthcare becomes more meaningful when it is brought closer to the communities it serves.” said OFI President James Lorenzana.
As demand for accessible healthcare continues to rise, mobile clinics play an increasingly vital role in extending services beyond hospital walls. Through these units, medical teams can deliver on-site consultations, minor treatments, and preventive care, allowing more residents to receive timely and appropriate medical attention within their own communities.
“These mobile clinics are equipped with essential medical services. They have X-ray machines, ultrasound, blood chemistry analysis, and their own examination room. In many ways, you can consider them as mini health centers that can be used for medical missions,” Lorenzana added.
Each mobile clinic was custom-built to function as a self-contained healthcare facility on wheels, enabling efficient and continuous service delivery. The units are equipped with an X-ray room, examination bed, laboratory sink, water supply system, and storage for medical equipment. They also feature a complete electrical system, including generator sets, power distribution, lighting, ventilation, and air-conditioning, ensuring reliable operations even in areas with limited infrastructure.
OFI formally turned over the mobile clinics on May 4, 2026 during a ceremony held at Parañaque City Hall following the morning flag ceremony. The turnover was graced by Parañaque City Mayor Edwin L. Olivarez and Okada Manila Board of Director and Board of Trustee, Mr. Mitsukazu Nakata.
With these mobile clinics now in service, Parañaque’s healthcare teams are better positioned to reach more communities, respond more quickly to patient needs, and deliver care where it matters most. Through initiatives like this, Okada Foundation Inc. continues to support stronger and more responsive local healthcare systems by bringing essential services closer today and helping build a more accessible and resilient future for Filipino communities.
