In April 2022, we opened "Karin Pharmacy," a pharmacy specialized in home healthcare, in Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto. As the demand for pharmacies to contribute to regional healthcare grows, we have launched this pharmacy with a focus on fostering connections with the local community and people, aiming to be known as the community's "medicine shop." We prioritize home healthcare, with pharmacists regularly delivering medications to the homes or facilities of individuals who find it difficult to visit the pharmacy.

It is common for pharmacists to train at hospitals, but the reverse?hospital staff training at pharmacies?is rare. As a community pharmacy specialized in home healthcare, we aim to become a gateway for hospital staff to receive training in pharmacy settings. To build the infrastructure for home healthcare, we need to cultivate skilled professionals. However, this cannot be done by one company or individual alone. Karin Pharmacy seeks to create a network of partnerships that transcend the boundaries between hospitals and pharmacies. We also incorporate overseas training programs and have established a system that enables foreign nationals to work with confidence and peace of mind. In the future, we also plan to implement certification systems to provide an environment where people can truly learn the essence of home healthcare.
