From a healthcare ecosystem centered on hospitals, to people-centric wellness

In emerging countries, mainly in Asia, growth in medical expenditure is accelerating alongside changes in disease patterns, such as an increase in chronic disease patients accompanying population growth, an aging society, an increasing middle-income class, and economic development. On the other hand, due to a shortage in the supply of provision of medical care, demand-supply gaps in healthcare are expected to expand further. In addition, we expect to see a spread in telemedicine due to COVID-19, and an expansion of the healthcare value chain into the wellness field. There will be an increasing need of initiatives to improve customer satisfaction and operational optimization using digital technology.

Creating a better tomorrow where people smile and live healthy, enriched lives

In accordance with the above global trends, we will lead and accelerate a paradigm shift in healthcare from a treatment-centered to a prevention-centered approach, and from a hospital-centered to individual-centered value-based healthcare*.

*An approach whereby each stakeholder focuses on maximizing outcomes and optimizing costs to provide high-value medical care to patients.
