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

In the fifth lecture, Takashi Mihara, Senior Researcher at the Healthcare Research Center, NLI Research Institute, provided a lecture entitled “Present Status and Issues in Japan’s Medical and Long-Term Care Delivery System.”

The lecture focused on the overview and background of the regional healthcare vision with the theme of “medical care that supports people’s lives”. He also discussed the significance of collaboration in searching for information.

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.
