RED MAPLE CLINIC by Dr. Kurenai (Headquarters: Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture, Representative Director: Kurenai Takebayashi), for which Dr. Kurenai Co., Ltd. handles public relations and operational consulting, has fully launched a new style of 'Travel Clinic' in Aomori City to meet the needs of busy business professionals and global corporations.
By utilizing the framework of fully self-pay medical care, we have achieved 'appointments during night and holiday hours' and 'same-day issuance of English certificates', which have been difficult in regional cities until now. We support safe overseas travel via the shortest route without taking away valuable time from the working generation.
Background of Development: Disparities and Challenges in 'Travel Medicine' in Regional Cities
As corporate globalization progresses, the number of business professionals ordered on sudden overseas business trips or assignments is increasing. However, in regional cities, there are challenges such as 'few medical institutions stocking multiple travel vaccines,' 'issuing English health certificates takes several days to weeks,' and 'appointments are only available during weekday daytime hours, forcing people to take time off work,' sometimes leading to cases where people travel to clinics in major cities.
Our clinic was born to solve this 'regional disparity and time loss in travel preparation.'

Novelty (Innovation): Three Features of RED MAPLE CLINIC
Our travel clinic offers overwhelming convenience (novelty) that sets it apart from traditional medical institutions primarily focused on insurance-based care.
1. A Travel Clinic with 'Night/Holiday Hours' x 'Same-Day Service,' Rare in Aomori
Appointments and consultations are possible on the same day as a sudden business trip assignment. We offer consultations not only on weekends and holidays but also on weekday nights until 10 PM, so there is no need to sacrifice daytime work.
2. A Smart Experience of 'Fully Self-Pay' That Doesn't Keep You Waiting
By specializing in a fully appointment-based, fully self-pay system, we eliminate the 'long waiting times' characteristic of hospitals. We also utilize online pre-consultations to minimize the time spent at the clinic. English certificates are generally issued on the same day.
3. Reliable Expertise from an Occupational Health Consultant and Former Public Health Center Director
We offer more than just vaccinations; we provide specialized consulting to address infection risks at the destination (e.g., prescribing anti-malarial drugs) and to meet a company's duty of care and requirements for pre-dispatch health examinations for overseas assignments.
Other Services Offered
While focusing on travel consultations, we also offer 'Medical Diet Programs,' 'Menopause Clinics for Men and Women,' 'AGA/ED Treatments,' and 'Fundamental Treatments for Allergies/Hay Fever', all as fully self-pay services that are speedy and privacy-conscious, to support the performance of the working generation.
From Director Dr. Kurenai (Thoughts on Aomori)
'As a former public health center director and occupational health consultant, I have observed the health of many working individuals. I want people flying from Aomori to the world to not have their precious time eroded by vaccine arrangements or waiting for documents...'
