Our Ideals: Our Healthcare Philosophy | Asahi Kasei Medical Co., Ltd.

Our wide range of innovative medical products combine advances in life science, polymer chemistry and mechanical engineering with separation technology based on functional materials such as membranes, nonwoven fabrics and adsorbents. Developed through the application of core technologies to meet real-world needs, our therapeutic and bioprocess filters have become the de facto standards in blood purification, leukocyte reduction and virus removal, finding wide application in the treatment of intractable diseases and the manufacture of biopharmaceuticals. We are dedicated to extending the frontiers of medicine to bring hope for health to patients, their families and medical professionals.

Every society depends on infrastructure to support daily life. Healthcare is a key pillar of social infrastructure. It is at least as important as the transportation and communication networks, which support economic and social activity, or the educational system and legal system, which nurture and protect human well-being. We believe the wide and fair availability of healthcare is essential for society to fulfill its responsibility to sustain human life and enable everyone to enjoy better health.

Being engaged in healthcare carries with it certain principles. One is the responsibility for safety that comes with a deep involvement with human life. Another is never giving up hope, based on the knowledge that nothing is more precious than health. Yet another is equal access to healthcare that offers everyone protection of life, peace of mind, and physical and mental well-being. Without these guiding principles we are convinced there can be no true progress in healthcare or meaningful growth in the healthcare business.

Never giving up hope, based on the knowledge that nothing is more precious than health.
