The provision of mobile healthcare field clinics in Tanzania in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo and the cultivation of healthcare workers in China are activities contributing to the accomplishment of Goal 3 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In addition to the outputs and outcomes, recently activity evaluations require us to produce a social impact from a mid-to-long-term perspective. In Tanzania, a local community has proactively built a simple facility for prenatal checkups for pregnant women and educational activities for local people in liaison with our activities even without help from district government or NGOs. We consider this behavioral change in local people as one of the social impacts. We will continue to support these community members so that they can solve local issues on their own in the future.
