Supporting Women's Silent Health Struggles
Alfresa Corporation, a key player in pharmaceutical distribution based in Tokyo, is set to participate in the
25th JAPAN Drugstore Show from
August 8 to August 10, 2025, at Tokyo Big Sight. This year, they focus on feminine care, aiming to assist women who often silently deal with health concerns.
The Purpose of Participation
With their booth titled "A Platform for Solving Women's Issues: Your Concerns, Addressed Here," Alfresa will offer a variety of resources designed to empower women to take control of their health. This initiative comes in response to a significant gap where 70% of women experience health-related issues, yet only 20% seek medical help. Common concerns include menstrual disorders, PMS, infertility, menopausal symptoms, and cold sensitivity. Alfresa recognizes the societal stigma surrounding these topics and aims to provide a comforting environment where visitors can seek guidance without embarrassment.
Engaging Exhibitions and Experiences
Visitors to the Alfresa booth can expect:
- - Free One-on-One Health Consultations: Attendees can discuss their health issues privately with qualified doctors, making it easier to talk about sensitive topics and receive tailored advice.
- - Midwives Offering Feminine Care Tips: Experts will share valuable information on gut and vaginal health, hormonal balance, and other matters pertinent to women's well-being.
- - Interactive Wellness Booth for "Warm Activities": This area invites women to learn about combating cold sensitivity with practical tips, including recipes and sampling warming drinks, which is particularly relevant during the summer months when air conditioning can trigger discomfort.
- - Healthcare Service Introductions: Alfresa will also demonstrate user-friendly health care services like the Yakubato app for prescription management, which allows women to avoid lengthy pharmacy waits, and the Vaccine Platt service for convenient vaccine scheduling.
Acknowledging the Issue
Many women hesitate to seek help due to shame or lack of knowledge, resulting in untreated health issues. For instance, while studies suggest that
74% of women suffer from severe menstrual problems, only about
20% consult gynecologists. Alfresa's initiative seeks to break this cycle by educating and empowering women, making them aware of their health needs and encouraging them to seek advice.
Alfresa's Commitment to Healthcare
Alfresa has served as a crucial infrastructure provider for medical institutions across Japan since its establishment, offering medical products and facilitating local healthcare. Their commitment extends beyond simply supplying medications; they aim to create awareness and provide solutions where healthcare may not be readily accessible.
