We held Health Summit (in Japanese) on Saturday February 26th、the day after Global Health Forum 2011. It was an event that was also held in the years 2008 and 2010.
The program for this year was slightly different from the past because it also introduced a collaborative work with the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
Unfortunately we had less participation of the members of the Diet than last year because many of the legislators of the Democratic Party of Japan (DJP, the ruling party) and other parties were back at their home constituencies for the nationwide local election.
Please refer to the HGPI website (in Japanese) for program and main speakers of this Summit.
A full report is in preparation, so I will let you know once it is available.
Now is the time to change the naming of ‘Medical Policy’ to ‘Health Policy’.
