This is how online healthcare quietly scales. Not with flashy tech, but with distribution.
Anamne has partnered with Sundrug from April 1, 2026, bringing its ‘Ouchi Byoin’ online consultation service closer to patients on the ground. With this move, users can now pick up prescriptions at Sundrug stores that include dispensing pharmacies. That sounds small, but it fixes a real friction point in online care.
Ouchi Byoin is built for people who cannot align their schedules with hospital hours. The consultation service operates from 8 AM to 10 PM every day of the week including holidays because it needs to follow scheduled appointments which last 15 minutes per session. The service targets working professionals because that group makes up the majority of its users.
The real value sits in how prescriptions are handled. Once a consultation is done, prescriptions are sent automatically to partner pharmacies. Users then choose where to pick them up based on convenience. Home, office, even while traveling. That flexibility matters more than the consultation itself in many cases.

と Sundrug joining, the total partner pharmacy network crosses 8,200 locations nationwide. That expands access for users who earlier did not have a nearby pickup point.
Step back and you see the direction. Online consultation alone is not enough. The ecosystem needs to cover diagnosis, prescription, and access. This partnership is just one more step in making that loop tighter and actually usable.
