![[Registration Closed] (Hybrid Format) Public Symposium “Promoting CVD Control Based on the Needs of People Living with or Affected by Cardiovascular Diseases: Towards Effective Implementation of the Second Phase CVD Control Plans” (November 22, 2024)](https://hgpi.org/en/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/cvd-ncd-20241122-top.png)
In 2019, Japan enacted the “Basic Act on Countermeasures for Stroke, Heart Disease and Other CVDs to Extend Healthy Life Expectancies”, leading to comprehensive nationwide efforts to promote CVD control. Based on this law, the Japanese Government established the National Plan for the Promotion of Measures Against Cerebrovascular and Cardiovascular Diseases (hereinafter “National Plan”), while prefectures created their own Prefectural Plans for CVD control (hereinafter “Prefectural Plans”). These plans are subject to periodic review, with the National Plan revised in April 2023 and the Prefectural Plans collectively updated in April 2024, marking the beginning of their second phase. During the first phase of the National Plan, the COVID-19 pandemic presented challenges, but significant progress was made in areas like the Model Projects for Integrated Centers for Stroke and Heart Disease Support (hereinafter “Integrated Support Centers”) and the development of a CVD Database, including substantial discussions on these initiatives. However, there remain challenges in ensuring these measures adequately reflect the needs of actual service users – patients and affected individuals.
Currently, 30 prefectures have established Integrated Support Centers, serving as key hubs for regional CVD control efforts. Additionally, CVD measures are often focused on acute care, with insufficient resources dedicated to chronic care and prevention efforts, as has been noted by various stakeholders. Particular emphasis needs to be placed on promoting regional clinical pathways, cardiac rehabilitation, and education to prevent recurrence. Addressing these issues and enhancing the effectiveness of CVD control measures, while developing more beneficial systems, requires building policies that are responsive to the needs of people living with CVDs.
This symposium aims to foster collaboration among industry, government, academia, and civil society to promote CVD control based on the perspectives of people living with CVDs, advancing the implementation of effective measures in the Second Phase CVD Control Plans.
