*This program is available in Japanese only.
In the face of changing population demographics, constant health technology advances, and rising healthcare costs, health policy in Japan is now more interesting than ever. Yet, there remains confusion around how and what exactly health policy is and few programs offer a comprehensive overview of this important topic.
To respond to this need, Health and Global Policy Institute began the Health Policy Academy.
Health Policy 101, the first lecture series of the Health Policy Academy began with its first session on April 30, 2015. A total of six sessions will be held within this series between April and September 2015.
Lecturers
・Kohei Onozaki, Board Member and President
・Toshio Miyata, Executive Director
