FUJIFILM India has taken a major step in bridging the gap between industrial growth and public health by setting up a state-of-the-art Digital Radiology (DR) X-Ray facility at the Community Health Centre (CHC) in Dholera, Gujarat. The initiative was formally inaugurated by Kadubhai Rupabhai Dabhi, MLA of Dhandhuka, in the presence of Dr. R. B. Kapadiya, Chief District Health Officer (Ahmedabad), and Koji Wada, Managing Director of FUJIFILM India.
This new medical center, established under the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, is designed to provide accessible healthcare and advanced diagnostic services to the fast-growing industrial workforce of Dholera as well as to residents of surrounding villages. The facility marks the first central DR X-ray hub in the region, a critical milestone for the city that is rapidly transforming into a flagship greenfield smart industrial hub.
Dholera’s Rising Industrial Importance
Dholera, located in Gujarat, is among India’s most ambitious smart city projects. With large-scale developments such as a mega solar park, a new expressway, a dedicated freight rail corridor, and proposed semiconductor plants, the city is fast emerging as a global destination for manufacturing and innovation.
However, while industrialization has progressed at lightning speed, public healthcare infrastructure in the region has not grown at the same pace. This gap has created challenges for workers, engineers, and local residents who often travel long distances for essential diagnostic services such as X-rays.
Recognizing this urgent need, FUJIFILM India has stepped in to strengthen the healthcare backbone of the region. By setting up the Digital Radiology hub at the CHC, the company aims to ensure that medical care keeps pace with industrial development, making healthcare both accessible and reliable for all.
Fujifilm Medical Centre: A Healthcare Milestone
The Fujifilm Medical Centre at Dholera’s CHC will serve as a cornerstone for preventive and diagnostic care. The new DR X-ray services will make it possible for doctors to perform faster and more accurate diagnoses, which is especially vital in cases of injury or urgent medical needs.
In addition to radiology, the center will also play a role in early tuberculosis (TB) screening by facilitating sputum collection and organizing regular health camps for the community. These camps will bring preventive healthcare closer to the people, reducing dependency on faraway medical facilities.
By combining advanced technology with community-focused outreach, FUJIFILM India has positioned this facility as a long-term investment in the wellbeing of both the industrial workforce and nearby villages.
Voices from the Leadership
Speaking on the launch, Koji Wada, Managing Director of FUJIFILM India, emphasized the company’s broader vision:
“At FUJIFILM India, our purpose goes beyond technology. We aim to create an impact that strengthens communities and supports national priorities. Dholera represents the future of India’s industrial growth, and we are proud to contribute by supporting the enhancement of basic public healthcare infrastructure. With this facility, we are making advanced diagnostics accessible where they are needed most, ensuring that workers, residents, and families have reliable support as the city grows into a global manufacturing hub.”
Adding to this, Abhi Shekhar Singh, Vertical Head, Corporate Communications & CSR at FUJIFILM India, highlighted the company’s consistent role in public health initiatives:
“FUJIFILM India has been engaged in CSR activities related to public health in Gujarat for a long time. With our Portable DR X-Ray System, we played a pivotal role in the 100 Days intensified campaign for TB Elimination this year in six districts of Gujarat. The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare recognized Gujarat as the best-performing state in the fight against TB under the ‘TB Mukt Bharat Abhiyan’. Building on that success, we decided to create the Fujifilm Medical Centre in Dholera to give people within a 50-kilometer radius access to advanced X-ray facilities without having to travel long distances.”
Why This Initiative Matters
The significance of this initiative extends beyond technology. By setting up a DR X-ray hub in a city that is at the forefront of India’s smart city mission, FUJIFILM India is ensuring that healthcare progress matches economic progress.
Industrial workers often face health risks due to physical labor, environmental exposure, and lifestyle-related conditions. Timely diagnostics, such as X-rays, are crucial in identifying injuries, respiratory conditions, and other medical issues early. With this facility, quick and accurate care will now be available locally, benefiting not only workers but also the wider population across 33 nearby villages.
FUJIFILM’s CSR Commitment in India
FUJIFILM India’s healthcare CSR efforts have consistently aligned with national priorities. From tuberculosis elimination campaigns to portable X-ray deployments, the company has leveraged its medical imaging expertise to strengthen India’s public health ecosystem.
The new Fujifilm Medical Centre in Dholera is another step in this journey, reflecting the company’s belief that technological innovation should serve the community first. By investing in medical infrastructure, FUJIFILM India is reinforcing its role as a partner in India’s broader smart city and healthcare development goals.
