Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) Associate Mr. Shotaro Tsukamoto gave a lecture at an online workshop hosted by the “Let’s Build the Healthcare of the Future Together With Heart Project,” which is operated by Power to the People with Chronic Conditions, or PPeCC.

In his lecture, titled “How Can We Convey the Voices of Those Most Affected?” Mr. Tsukamoto explained the need for Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and PPI methods. While referring to policy recommendation activities undertaken as part of HGPI’s Platform Project for Patient and Public Involvement and Cardiovascular Disease Control Promotion Project, Mr. Tsukamoto introduced specific methods for patients and affected parties to participate in the policy decision-making process and points of note to keep in mind when doing so.
