About Dementia

As average life expectancies continue to rise, ‘dementia’ is becoming a key policy issue not only in Japan but also around the world.

HGPI views dementia as a global health policy issue and has been engaged in ongoing efforts to promote dementia policy worldwide

In pursuit of our mission of “promoting multi-stakeholder collaboration to advance dementia policy,” HGPI conducts research, holds surveys, and formulates policy proposals based on three pillars: building a global platform, emphasizing the perspectives of the parties most affected, and identifying and publicizing policy issues.
