■ About the Eucalia Friendship Meeting

Since 2007, Eucalia has hosted the 'Friendship Meeting' as a forum to invite executives from affiliated medical corporations receiving management and operational support, to share activities within the Eucalia Group and its hospitals. Due to the spread of the novel coronavirus infection, the event was suspended from 2020 onward. However, with its revival in 2024, the event was renamed the 'Eucalia Friendship Meeting' and transformed into an event inviting a broad range of stakeholders, including academia, pharmaceutical companies, financial institutions, and investors. The refreshed logo is inspired by the 'circle of connected friends' (Eucalia Ring). With the 'Eucalia Friendship Meeting,' we hope to welcome even more partners in realizing our vision of 'Industrializing Healthcare.'
