Ain Group's Initiative to Combat Heatstroke
The Ain Group has launched a significant public awareness campaign aimed at preventing heatstroke, in collaboration with the Japan Pharmaceutical Association (NPhA). This initiative kicked off on May 28 and will run until September 30, providing essential support to communities affected by rising temperatures. During this period, local pharmacies will serve as temporary cooling stations, offering respite for individuals suffering from heat-related ailments.
With the slogan "If you feel unwell (from heatstroke), please rest at the pharmacy," this program focuses on making pharmacies accessible for public health. Pharmacies that participate in this campaign will proudly display stickers inside and outside their premises, promoting heatstroke prevention and encouraging locals to take advantage of these services.

- - Duration of the Campaign: May 28, 2026, to September 30, 2026
- - Free Hydration Services: Pharmacies equipped with water dispensers or tea machines will provide complimentary water and tea to help individuals stay hydrated.
