Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) launched the website “Japan’s Patient Expert Platform (J-PEP)” on 21 August 2024.
Since its establishment in 2004, HGPI has upheld the mission to realize citizen-centered health policies. We have been engaged in policy advocacy activities based on discussions among multi-stakeholders, including healthcare providers, researchers, business representatives, administrative and legislative officials, and people with lived experience of health conditions. Additionally, we have supported the meaningful involvement of people with lived experience in policy-making process. In recent years, the importance of meaningful involvement has been recognised and practiced widely. However, emerging challenges, such as a shortage of individuals to be involved and limitations in collecting diverse voices of people with lived experience, have been pointed out.
In light of this situation, Meaningful Involvement Promotion Project has aimed to promote meaningful involvement of people with lived experience, considering the current social situations. To achieve that, we have conducted discussions among advisory board members and conducted hearings with a wider range of stakeholders. Based on the insights gained from these previous activities, we have established a free membership website for people with lived experience, named “Japan’s Patient Expert Platform (J-PEP).”
This initial release precedes the full launch scheduled for autumn 2024, providing an overview of J-PEP and allowing for the pre-registration.
