日本の医療・介護を変える。

As pioneers in the medical and care industry for over 30 years, Handi Network International has embraced the slogan “Changing medical and care services in Japan.” We have developed and provided products and services that are needed but not yet available. With the keyword “care,” we connect Japan to the world and continue to evolve as an entity that opens a new era.

Services

Although highly needed, we independently develop care services that have not been provided before.
At Handi Network International, based on our experience since establishment in developing and producing products and services for individuals and businesses, we offer three services: education and placement of foreign care workers with specialized skills, development and sales of original care products, and travel services for those in need of care (Good Time Travel).

Educational, introduction, and registration support agency
business for specified skilled nursing care workers

“Sama-sama” means “mutual assistance” in Indonesian. We connect Indonesians who want to work in Japan with care facilities facing labor shortages. Our Indonesian “Special Skilled Worker” Careworkers, known as Sama-sama Careworkers, will support the elderly in your facility.
Our company has concluded an LoI with the Indonesian Ministry of Health, and has partnered with 38 national nursing universities under the Ministry of Health, as well as private nursing universities. The target audience is medical professionals other than doctors, such as nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and physical therapists. By holding job fairs and information sessions at local universities and recruiting directly, we eliminated the intervention of brokers.

About the founder

At the age of 24, he developed progressive muscular dystrophy, and several years later lost motor function from the neck down.
In 1988, he opened Handi Co-op, the nation’s first welfare department store.In 1991, he established Handi Network International (HNI) and began developing and selling original nursing care and medical care products. With a wide network and a unique perspective and focus based on his own experience, he has participated in numerous consulting projects related to medical care and nursing care, as well as projects for companies and local governments.

History

Founder Mitsuru Haruyama began developing products that consumers truly needed based on his own experience of losing motor function from the neck down due to an incurable disease, and also produced products in collaboration with Toyota and Panasonic. There, Haruyama, who also developed equipment for elderly care facilities, learned about the lives of the elderly in Japan, who had lost their dignity as human beings, and decided to turn their third life after retirement into ‘‘the best time of life.’’ With this aim, we created a lifestyle for the elderly in the form of a senior citizen facility.
After the death of our founder, Japan is currently facing the problem of a shortage of caregiving personnel to support the lives of the elderly. As a solution to this problem, we are working on education, introduction, and support projects for nursing care personnel with specific skills, and are striving to create a system that will enrich the home countries of foreign personnel while solving Japan’s aging problem.
