Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) hosted an installment of 30-minute Health Policy Update, which is held on an irregular basis to brief non-partisan Diet members on key health policy issues. The concept of this installment was “Considering the Future of Health and Medical Policy with Industry, Government, Academia, and Civil Society.” Working more closely with the legislature than ever before and with support from our non-partisan promoters, our objective was to deepen learning for non-partisan Diet members using concrete and verifiable data in themes with a high degree of public interest including cancer, preventive medicine, internal and surgical diseases, pediatrics, and perinatal care and, with a future-oriented vision, have an equal exchange of opinions on next steps.
