CoNCa Appoints New Directors to Enhance Postpartum Recovery Services for Women

CoNCa Strengthens Leadership with New Directors

CoNCa, a company based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, specializing in online recovery services for postpartum women through its brand SOCO, recently announced the appointment of two new directors. This strategic move aims to enhance their business growth and expand their management framework by integrating medical expertise directly into their operations. The new directors, Kanami Yamasaki, a licensed physical therapist, and Hiroshi Yomogita, an obstetrician-gynecologist, will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table.

Background of the Appointment

Previously, CoNCa has primarily focused on supporting physical recovery for postpartum women. However, health challenges faced by women are not exclusive to the postpartum stage; they extend across different phases such as preconception care, pregnancy, menopause, and the working age. This comprehensive view of women’s health was a driving force behind the decision to add healthcare professionals to the board in order to elevate the quality of care and enhance social credibility for the company's services.
