In his presentation, he began with the history of HGPI, from its inception until the present. He then discussed the main objective of HGPI, which is political agenda setting, shaping and delivery by visualizing patients’ and citizens’ voices and amplifying their political will in policy making. He then presented on the Japanese National Healthcare System and the Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI). Mr. Noritake’s presentation resulted in a lively discussion regarding different aspects of the Japanese healthcare system and the work of HGPI in promoting changes to Japanese healthcare policy. Dr. Favour Omileke, Program Specialist at the HGPI gave a presentation on HGPI’s Dementia Project. In her presentation, she began with an overview of the current reality of the dementia burden in Japan, presented the recently enacted Basic Act on Dementia and HGPI’s recommendations in the legislative process of this policy.
