Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) held the fourth lecture of the 11th semester of Health Policy Academy (HPA).

At the fifth lecture, entitled “Community Healthcare in Japan”, Dr. Yoshiki Kuriya (Representative Director, Nihonkai Healthcare Net (Regional Medical Coordination Promotion Corporation)) explained the origin and history of Nihonkai Healthcare Net. He introduced his initiative to optimize healthcare delivery in the region introducing various indicator based on data including financial circumstance and trend of number of patients among the group facilities. As a takehome message, he summarized the issues in health policy that Japan needs to overcome. In the Q&A session, students from diverse backgrounds actively asked questions, and it was a lively exchange of opinions that transcended industry and regional barriers.

The 11th semester of HPA will be held over the next six months. It aims to provide participants with opportunities to learn basic knowledge and acquire skills for health policy through lectures by opinion leaders and interactive multi-stakeholder discussions among participants.
