Healthcare and medical communications
As Japan’s population continues to age, the disease structure has shifted from infectious disease to life-style-related diseases, and the conditions faced by the medical and healthcare sectors are also undergoing major changes. This is accompanied by paradigm shifts — such as from disease treatment to prevention, or from “hospital-centered medical care" to "local community-oriented medical care" — that bring new stakeholders into focus. In the run up to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, hopes are high for the realization of a barrier-free society. Against the backdrop of such broad societal change, long-established players in the medical and healthcare field are being joined by new contributors from such diverse areas as food, sport, and information and communications technology. What role can communications play in an age of such monumental transitions? Thanks to our wide-ranging client portfolio, we are able to offer comprehensive support, from marketing to corporate communications.
