■ Background of the Representative Director Change
Our company has been developing inspection services that enable the assessment of disease onset risk at the pre-symptomatic stage, under the theme of "extending healthy life expectancy through preventive medicine."

As a result, we have built a network with over 4,700 affiliated medical institutions nationwide, and the cumulative number of examinees has exceeded 1.45 million, establishing a strong business foundation in preventive medicine. In particular, we have focused on promoting preventive medicine, primarily through optional examinations in health checkups, and have now developed to a point where we can provide opportunities for many people to confront their own health, in collaboration with affiliated medical institutions nationwide.

As Japan faces a super-aging society, preventive medicine is required to evolve from an individual choice into an indispensable infrastructure supporting society.

In this major turning point, we have refreshed our management team to strengthen our management structure for the next growth phase. Building upon the strong business foundation we have established, we will place Mr. Tanaka's expertise in strategy and finance at the core of our organizational management, further accelerating the social implementation of our accumulated research findings. Simultaneously, we will promote the improvement of corporate value and business expansion.

■ Message from the New Representative Director President, Tomohide Tanaka

The commitment we have cherished, "never keeping excellent research findings confined to the laboratory, but returning them to the health of as many people as possible through social implementation," will continue to be an unwavering part of our company's DNA.

I take on the responsibility of inheriting this important baton and evolving Premedica to the next stage. Our true mission is to widely disseminate preventive medicine, starting with inspection services, to "extend healthy life expectancy and maximize people's potential." While preserving our company's strengths, we are determined to enhance our implementation capabilities to steadily materialize the potential of our research findings, elevating preventive medicine to a more accessible presence.

Our aim is to create a culture where people understand their bodies through tests and change their behavior to transform their future. To achieve this, all employees will work together, steadily moving forward step by step.
