[Announcement from Tokyo] October is "Organ Transplant Promotion Month"!

In March 2023, we concluded a comprehensive partnership agreement called the "Wide Collaboration Agreement" with Tokyo, our hometown, and are cooperating in various fields to further develop the capital, Tokyo, and improve services for its residents.



□ Announcement from Tokyo
Currently, there are about 16,000 people waiting for organ transplants in the country. Of those, only about 3% can receive a transplant at this time. Organ transplantation is a medical procedure that restores function by replacing the organs of individuals whose organ function has declined due to severe illness or accidents with healthy organs from deceased donors. It cannot exist without the goodwill of organ donors. The intention to donate organs can be indicated on health insurance cards, driver's licenses, My Number cards, expression of intent cards, or online. Whether 'YES' or 'NO', please cooperate in expressing your intention regarding organ donation.
