On January 24, 2023, the Health and Policy Global Institute (HGPI) Dementia Policy Project has presented follow-up recommendations regarding the Basic Act for Dementia entitled “Ensuring the Basic Act for Dementia Encourages Involvement for People Living with Dementia and their Supporters.” A media briefing on the recommendations was held online the same day.
The three pillars of “Ensuring the Basic Act for Dementia Encourages Involvement for People Living with Dementia and their Supporters” were explained in detail, along with representatives from each of the organizations that jointly developed the policy of the proposal.
■ The three pillars

- Make clear mention of “Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)” in research and development.
