Traveling to where care is needed via the Hospice Car.

Home-based medical care is about bringing medical services to the patient’s living environment rather than seeing them in a clinic consultation room. Our emergency house-call vehicles and Hospice Cars are a tangible expression of this commitment.

Moving away from "medical care that comes eventually,"
toward "medical care that rushes to your side right now."

Excerpt from the Hospice Car launch ceremony speech: We aim to quickly provide support for patients’ suffering and anxiety, while connecting them to fire/ambulance services, doctor cars, or hospitals when necessary. We strive to create a new "baton pass" of medical care in Aira City.
