Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) held the third lecture of the 12th session of Health Policy Academy (HPA).

At the third lecture, Kazuya Sugitani, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Policy Studies, Iwate Prefectural University, provided a lecture entitled “Policy Making and Evidence.”
The lecture focused on the features and issues of Evidence-Based Policy Making（EBPM）in Japan, analysis of policy and relationship between policy and value.

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 HPA has been renewed, and the 12th session will be called “HPA Advance.” This curriculum will cover the theory, themes, and analysis of health policies and will be conducted over the next six months. Its objective is to offer participants opportunities to learn about essential concepts required for the actual policy-making process. This includes fostering coordination and agreement among various ideas through discussions and the development of recommendations with students from diverse backgrounds.
