Message from the President

笠井 直人社長

We, the Nihon Chouzai Group, guided by our Group philosophy of “To give people the closest possible support” and a desire for everyone to live a healthy life with a smile, operate a range of healthcare businesses with a focus on the Dispensing Pharmacy Business.

At our dispensing pharmacies spread across all 47 prefectures in Japan, we are committed to providing close support and meeting the needs of every patient in their daily lives by combining hospitality with innovative services enabled by digital transformation. In the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing and Sales Business, we contribute to ensuring the quality and stable supply of pharmaceuticals, while in the Medical Professional Staffing and Placement Business, we are working to resolve staffing challenges facing medical institutions. Through these diverse initiatives, we fulfill our role in closely supporting the wellbeing of our customers.

In September 2024, we unveiled the Long-Term Vision 2035. In the Vision, we have outlined our three aspirations—what we envision ourselves to be.

“The most vibrant and energetic group in Japan”
To bring smiles to patients, we will first put a smile on ourselves and be full of energy.

“A group that can address all kinds of needs”
We will sincerely address all our customers’ needs and further improve our services.

“A group that continues to innovate”
We will embrace new technologies, create new services, and continuously take on challenges with an eye to the future.

With the goal of becoming “The most trusted partner in healthcare,” the Nihon Chouzai Group will continue to grow and contribute to society.
