The Asian Medical Students’ Association Japan (AMSA Japan) and the Japan Association for Global Health, Students Section (jagh-s), have announced their participation in the Planetary Health Project at Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI).

The involvement of these youth organizations in the project is expected to provide an opportunity for young people to incorporate a long-term vision to build a sustainable future as future healthcare professionals and leaders, and to include new perspectives in the discussion of this project.
