Health

Basic Policy

Utilizing a wide range of assets of the Otsuka group, we strive for the development of personalized medicine and therapies aimed at complete cure, delivering new health value utilizing personalized health data and digital technologies, and proposing health solutions tailored to life stages by adapting to social changes.
From “better health” to “beyond health” and then to “well-being”, the Otsuka group takes a broader view of health and work to address the health experience of each individual person, that is we believe what's never been done and can only be done by Otsuka.
