Overview
The Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI) Cardiovascular Disease Control Promotion Project formulated policy recommendations in the field of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) titled, “International Trends and Measures for Cardiovascular Disease in Japan – Creating Health Equity From the Perspective of Cardiovascular Disease.” Focusing on heart disease, these recommendations were formulated after conducting hearings and sharing current best practices with opinion leaders, holding advisory board discussions, and hosting a global expert meeting.
Five recommendations for advancing CVD control
- Support efforts for CVD control that are based on local governments and regions.
- Encourage the horizontal spread of best practices from prefectures, regions, and abroad.
- Promote collaboration and cooperation with people living with or affected by CVDs, who are stakeholders.
- Aspects of the healthcare provision system related to CVDs should be reorganized in a manner that anticipates the use of innovations and changes in society.
- Advocate the importance of CVD control with a field of view that encompasses progress and reform in other fields of disease control and in the overall healthcare system.
Six perspectives that support these recommendations
- Perspective 1: Comprehensive perspectives on advancing CVD control
- Perspective 2: Awareness raising and prevention – Promoting awareness raising and prevention measures for each phase through multi-stakeholder action
- Perspective 3: Provision systems for services related to health, medicine, and welfare – Healthcare and welfare provision systems must be established or corrected
- Perspective 4: Systems for promoting research – Promoting CVD research as a national strategy
- Perspective 5: The support system for people living with or affected by CVDs – Achieving CVD control measures driven by people living with or affected by CVDs
- Perspective 6: Cross-cutting policy perspectives that include CVD control – Sharing and utilizing medical and health information while applying innovation
