One of the major four drug wholesalers in Japan, Toho Holdings' subsidiary Toho Pharmaceutical put out a proposal for a new drug store model in Japan. Presented at the Pharmacy Fair, the model tries to maximize the use of information technology and strengthen customer support systems. One such system will instantly identify and convert a pharmacist's voice into text. Toho also proposes drive-through drug stores and a special window to dispense drugs to patients with highly contagious diseases. Since the new Pharmaceutical Affairs Law took effect in June, Toho has determined to use the opportunity of relaxed regulation in dispensing pharmacies and reform itself towards becoming a next-generation drug store chain.
