(Registration closed)Global Expert Meeting on Japan’s Leadership and Outreach Strategy in Access to Medicine(November 24, 2016)
date : 11/7/2016
We are pleased to invite you to the Global Expert Meeting on Japan’s Leadership and Outreach Strategy in Access to Medicine, convened by Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI). This meeting will be held in Tokyo on Thursday, 24 November, 2016, jointly with Access to Medicine Foundation from the Netherlands.
“Access to medicine” is a fundamental social right that guarantees essential medications and quality healthcare services to those in need. However, there are more than 2 billion people around the world who live beyond the reach of adequate and affordable medicine. In this context, urgent actions at international levels through public private partnerships are imperative, and the world’s expectation for Japan’s contribution is high. Building up the momentum, Japan has recently conveyed further commitment in global health at the G7 Kobe Health Minsters’ Meeting and the 6th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD VI).
While Japan’s leadership in global heath is steadily gaining appreciation, their efforts from public, private and academic sectors are yet to be fully recognized by the international community. There are still ongoing discussions within Japan on how to take leadership to contribute to global health, and increase its presence through outreach strategy.
In this global expert meeting, we hope to provide a platform for multi-stakeholder discussion, with experts from public, private and academic sectors in Japan and around the world, on Japan’s leadership role in improving access to medicine and better practice for outreach strategy. In cooperation with Access to Medicine Foundation, which ranks the world’s 20 largest research-based pharmaceutical companies according to their practice in improving access to medicine, this meeting will be an opportunity to delve into the prospects of Japan’s role and policy agendas as a leader in global health.
