Top Management Message

Terumo Corporation would like to express our appreciation for your continued support.

In the first half of this fiscal year, the global economy has still been in a severe situation, but looking at healthcare, new unprecedented trends and movements have been seen, as illustrated by the new medical insurance system to begin in China and discussions of large-scale healthcare reforms in the USA. Going forward, as the number of people who can benefit from healthcare will increase, particularly in emerging countries, it is anticipated that needs for the healthcare economic efficiency will become stronger in view of reducing healthcare cost burdens.

In light of such changes in the global market we promote business operations to enhance the quality of healthcare and to contribute to improved efficiency.

We are determined to further improve our management efficiency, while proactively developing and expanding our business, including the development of new products with superior healthcare economic efficiency.

We are making all-out efforts to bring the company towards a path for strong growth and would like to ask for your kind understanding and support going forward.

December 2009
