Development of community-based healthcare through support to establish clinics and initiatives to improve the health and welfare of residents

As the average age of doctors at clinics supporting community-based healthcare continues to increase*, “cycles” in which young doctors offer additional support will be essential to maintain healthcare systems. One of those cycles will be the establishment of new clinics, which is actively supported by Sharp Finance. In this way, we aim to make social contributions toward maintaining community-based healthcare systems.

Through leasing initiatives implemented in the course of our main business, which is medical equipment sales to vendors, we have amassed a business network of many customers that includes a large number of medical institutions, medical equipment manufacturers, pharmaceutical wholesalers, and accounting firms. In addition to being a finance company providing financial support for business launches, we also provide one-stop support for starting a business in cooperation with our business partners by fully utilizing our network in each specialized field, such as accounting firms that handle various notifications necessary for starting a business.

We supported the of opening of a clinic for the Toyocho Hagukumi Family Clinic, a pediatric clinic in Koto-ku, Tokyo which opened in October 2021, as a result of an inquiry to our company’s specialized website for business launch support. The area around Toyocho Station is being redeveloped, with construction of condominiums underway and the number of new families on the rise. We feel that we have contributed to community-based healthcare in this neighborhood by helping hospital directors actualize their desire to build clinics that support the growth of children and the health of their families, while fulfilling the demand for pediatric healthcare that has been continually increasing in this region.
