The thyroid may be small, but it plays an important role in keeping the body functioning properly. The hormones it produces help regulate metabolism and influence essential functions such as energy levels, heart rate, body temperature, and weight. However, thyroid concerns can sometimes be difficult to identify, as some symptoms may be subtle or mistaken for everyday changes.
To encourage Filipinos to be more proactive about their health, Watsons Philippines is offering free thyroid screening at selected stores this August, giving customers a convenient opportunity to check their thyroid health and seek appropriate medical guidance when needed.
Free Thyroid Screening at Selected Watsons Stores
The free screenings will be available at the following locations:
- Watsons SM Aura Premier Mall — August 22, 2026
- Watsons SM Mall of Asia 8 — August 29, 2026
For many Filipinos, getting a health check can mean setting aside additional time for a clinic visit. By bringing selected screening services into its stores, Watsons aims to make preventive health care more convenient and accessible during customers’ regular shopping trips.
“Health monitoring should be something that people can access without having to make it complicated,” said Danilo S. Chiong, Managing Director of Watsons Philippines. He added that the free screenings are intended to encourage customers to pay closer attention to their health and take appropriate next steps when necessary.
The initiative is part of Watsons’ broader efforts to make preventive health care more accessible and approachable. By bringing selected health services closer to communities, the company hopes to encourage more Filipinos to take an active role in monitoring their health and addressing potential concerns early.
Customers can visit the participating Watsons stores on the scheduled dates to access the free screenings. For updates on schedules, participating locations, and other health and wellness activities, follow Watsons Philippines on social media or visit Watsons Philippines.
