[Notice from Tokyo] October is "Organ Transplant Promotion Month"!

In March 2023, we signed a comprehensive collaboration agreement, the "Wide Collaboration Agreement," with our hometown of Tokyo, and are working together to further develop the capital city and improve services for its citizens in various fields.



□ Notice from Tokyo
Currently, there are about 16,000 people waiting for organ transplants in Japan. However, only 3% of them are able to receive a transplant. Organ transplant is a medical procedure where a healthy organ from a deceased person is replaced with a damaged organ in someone who is suffering from a serious illness or accident. This allows the recipient to regain their organ function. Organ donation is only possible through the generosity of others. You can indicate your willingness to donate organs through your health insurance card, driver's license, My Number card, or an organ donation card, which can also be done online. Please consider indicating your decision, whether it is "YES" or "NO", to donate your organs.
