[Event Report] Meaningful Involvement Promotion Project Online Expert Meeting “Shaping the Future of Health Policy with People with Lived Experience and Citizens” (July 26, 2024)
date : 11/21/2024
Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) views proactive involvement from people with lived experience and citizens in the policy formulation process as a key theme for achieving “citizen-centered health policy,” the mission of ours. Over time, we have been engaging in various activities to encourage such involvement.
Since FY2021, we have invited experts specializing in health policymaking process and patient and public involvement (PPI), as well as patient/related party/citizen leaders with extensive experience in participating in health policymaking process, to the Advisory Board and has held a series of discussions to promote meaningful involvement of people with lived experience and citizens in health policymaking process.
In FY2023, based on these discussions, HGPI has compiled the “Guidance on PPI in Health Policymaking” and the policy recommendations “Promoting PPI in Policymaking Process,” to summarize the efforts required of patients, related parties, citizens, and government respectively, and the requirements for patients, related parties, and citizens to participate in health policymaking process.
This expert meeting aimed to promote meaningful involvement in policymaking process at all regions in Japan. To achieve the goal, we invited experts, mainly from our Advisory Board, to discuss the democratic process of health policymaking and the actions necessary to promote the meaningful involvement of people with lived experience and citizens in health policymaking.
