Mr. Noritake has up until now been serving as the Vice President of HGPI. He started his career with HGPI in 2007 following his graduation from Keio University.

Mr. Noritake is a graduate of Keio University’s Faculty of Policy Management and holds an MSc in Medical Anthropology from the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
The outgoing President, Mr. Kohei Onozaki, will continue to contribute to HGPI as a board member. He will continue to involve himself with HGPI’s efforts for health policy planning and human resource development.
In accordance with the above changes, Senior Manager Ms. Mariko Oyamada has been promoted the position of Vice President and has been placed in charge of Strategic Development, Planning, Human Affairs, Marketing and Women’s Health Projects.
