Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) and Designing for Dementia co-hosted the tenth meeting of the Comparative Research Group on Local Regulations for Dementia. The group was formed with the goal of achieving better coexistence with dementia in the future by comparing existing local regulations related to dementia, to examine the content of those regulations, and to consider the ideal procedures for formulating regulations related to dementia.
On March 21, 2021, the group published its interim report and policy recommendations in a document entitled, “Steps Toward Regulations for Dementia That Achieve Citizen-Centered Dementia Policy.”
At the Research Group’s tenth meeting, each member shared updates on their activities since the release of the interim report. There was also a report on a presentation based on the study group’s activities that was given at an academic conference. Finally, attendees compared items outlined in the interim report with the “Kawachinagano City Regulation for Building a Dementia-Friendly City,” a local regulation for dementia which came into effect in Kawachinagano City, Osaka Prefecture on July 1, 2021.
