Corporate Information
A Word from CEO
SUSMED aims to achieve sustainable medicine.
Social security provides healthcare to anyone who needs it, and is essential if people are to live their lives with peace of mind.
However, in our aging society, the cost of medical care is increasing as medical care becomes more advanced, placing the entire social security system at risk.

Medicine and medical care are the infrastructure that supports society and are the source from which next-generation innovation springs.
By organically combining the needs of frontline medicine and medical research with IT technology we believe that we can optimize medical care for individuals and society as a whole in an uncompromising manner both now and in the future.

We also believe that by facilitating cooperation among medical professionals across a wide range of fields, we will be able to make possible better medical care, which can protect the social security system and enable people to play an active role and take on new challenges in society.
