A clinic that combines face-to-face and online will be set up on the platform of the JR station in Kokubunji, Tokyo.
Since this is the first time in Japan, I would like to expand it to other areas in the future.
The clinic will be set up at the platform of Nishi-Kokubunji Station, where the Chuo Line and Musashino Line of JR East intersect, and is scheduled to open in April.
In addition to having a resident internal medicine doctor, you can also receive online medical care such as dermatology and otolaryngology.
The consultation hours are scheduled from 8:00 am to 9:00 pm on weekdays and from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, with lunch breaks in between. The aim is to connect to.
According to JR East, it is the first time in Japan to set up a clinic on the platform of a station, and in the future we would like to expand it not only in Tokyo but also in other areas.
While passenger demand is declining due to the impact of the new coronavirus, strengthening profitability has become a common issue for railway companies, and it is likely that there will be more and more movements to launch new initiatives that meet the needs of passengers.
