Health and Global Institute (HGPI) held the 7th Lecture of the 9th semester of Health Policy Academy (HPA). The lecture was entitled “Predicting the Future of Healthcare” and was given in the form of a panel discussion. For the panel discussion, it was our great honor to host Professor Naoki Ikegami, Professor Ryu Niki, and Mr. Yasuhiro Sensho, who are leading figures in the field of health policy. The discussion was moderated by HGPI Board Member Mr. Kohei Onozaki. The panel discussion covered themes related to COVID-19 and its influence on health policy, leadership from the national and municipal governments, and predictions for the future of society and healthcare.
This lecture was the last event of the 9th semester of HPA. The 9th semester began in May 2020 and consisted of seven lectures and six study group sessions held over the past six months. The lectures featured discussions on topics at the forefront of each theme that were led by the guest speakers below, whom we were very lucky to host.
