What is "Ansho"?
Anyo" is an online medical service that connects families with children who want to see a pediatrician and doctors who want to work at home. After two demonstration tests, this service was officially launched in June 2023 in Aichi Prefecture, where we are based. The service has been used by many patients in 11 prefectures in Japan, including Aichi Prefecture.
Residents living outside of the 11 prefectures can also use this service, but they will be required to pay a portion of the medical expenses temporarily and then go through reimbursement procedures at their local government office at a later date.
Up until now, Nippon Pharmacy has supported face-to-face drug instruction and pick-up at pharmacies after online medical treatment with "Anyo". *1
In response to the growing nationwide need for "Anyo", we have now established a system to provide online medication guidance and medication delivery using NiCOMS at all Nippon Pharmacy pharmacies nationwide. This will enable us to respond more extensively to the needs of our customers who wish to complete everything from online medical care to medication guidance and delivery of prescription drugs online.
Nippon Pharmacy will contribute to medical care and society through the provision of high-quality medical services while improving convenience for everyone raising children.*1 Release dated October 2, 2023:https://www.nicho.co.jp/corporate/newsrelease/20231002_nr1/
