Health Policy Dialogue: What is the Healthcare Truly Sought by the Japanese Public?
date : 11/3/2007
Dr. Takeshi Yoro, Professor Emeritus, The University of Tokyo
What is the Healthcare Truly Sought by the Japanese Public?
– Part 1 “It is harder than it looks to objectively discuss the best form of healthcare.”
– Part 2 “Healthcare is regarded as something to be given by someone else in the Japanese society. We’re heading in the opposite direction from self-help.”
– Part 3 “Doctors should give serious and constant attention to healthcare, while realizing the gap between what they really feel should be done and what they actually do.”
– Part 4 “’Citizens’ have remained underdeveloped in the building of a postwar society.”
