Kinki Nippon Tourist Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yasunori Nagasaki; hereinafter referred to as "the Company") is pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative utilizing "SOKUYAKU," an online medical consultation and medication guidance service provided by J-Frontier Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President and Executive Officer: Atsuhiro Nakamura), to promptly respond to sudden student illnesses during school trips.
For many years, our company has handled educational travel, primarily school trips, and has prioritized the health, safety, and peace of mind of all students, striving to create a travel environment where they can participate with confidence.
By introducing this service, even if a student falls ill at the travel destination, the anxiety until they can visit a medical institution will be reduced, and a system will be established to receive prompt and appropriate online medical support. This will provide even greater reassurance to schools and parents.
**■ Prompt and Supportive Response to Sudden Illnesses During School Trips**
School trips are precious times filled with new discoveries and opportunities for growth for students. However, sudden illnesses such as fever or abdominal pain in an unfamiliar environment can be a major concern not only for the students themselves but also for accompanying teachers and parents. Especially at travel destinations, various burdens can arise, such as searching for medical institutions, waiting times for consultations, the risk of infection to other students, and coordination of communication with parents.
Our company has established a new support system in collaboration with J-Frontier Co., Ltd. to alleviate such anxieties and burdens, ensuring that students can enjoy their school trips with peace of mind.
**■ Features of the Support System**
By utilizing the online medical consultation and medication guidance service "SOKUYAKU," we provide faster and more reassuring medical support for sudden illnesses during school trips.
### 1. Doctor's Consultation Anytime, Anywhere
Students can receive online medical consultations from a doctor on the spot where they feel unwell, via tablets or other devices. Since consultations are available even at night or on holidays, the effort of searching for medical institutions, the burden of travel, and the impact on the travel itinerary can be minimized.
### 2. Prompt Receipt of Prescription Medication
If medication is required after a consultation, students can receive medication at their accommodation or a nearby pharmacy after online medication guidance. This service also supports same-day pick-up at the earliest, helping to alleviate students' discomfort as quickly as possible.
### 3. Three-Way Calls Allowing Participation from Parents and Schools
Parents can remotely participate in consultations and medication guidance. This increases peace of mind for both students and parents, as medical history and underlying conditions can be shared during the consultation. It also helps reduce the burden on teachers.
Through this service, our company will further strengthen efforts to create an environment where students can enjoy their school trips with peace of mind. Moving forward, we will continue to leverage our experience and expertise in educational travel to wholeheartedly assist students in creating invaluable memories.
