have become closely linked to each other. The MHLW's active involvement and efforts
in global health will contribute to "guaranteeing and improving the lives of the people"
and "improving and promoting social welfare, social security, and public health", and
will help protect the people.
(2) Contributing Japan’s Insights to the International Community
The MHLW has extensive knowledge and trial-and-error experiences in
achieving one of the highest levels of health and longevity in the world, while ensuring
equity and maintaining relatively low costs. For example, the MHLW has introduced
the national health insurance system in 1961, and this can be considered "Japan’s
version of universal health coverage (UHC)." Moreover, the Ministry has also worked
on ensuring access to health care, tackling infectious diseases such as tuberculosis,
promoting health through "Health Japan 21," addressing elderly care through longterm care insurance and dementia measures, and integrating health care and welfare
services through “Community-Based Integrated Care System.”
Furthermore, Japan's experience in ongoing maintenance and management of
one of the highest health standards in the world has contributed significantly to the
country's economic development. As the super-aged society, it is vital that health,
medical, and long-term care policies will be addressed as part of economic and
industrial policies in cooperation with relevant ministries and agencies.
Leveraging these knowledge and experiences in health systems and health
financing can benefit the international community, and it will also contribute to solving
future challenges within our own country.
The Government of Japan released " Global Health Strategy of Japan "
(approved by the Headquarters for Healthcare Policy of Japan on May 24, 2022) to
outline its direction for contributing to the international community. Nonetheless, since
then, new conflicts, disasters, and extreme weather events have occurred, and there
have been geopolitical changes due to the increasing presence of emerging and
developing countries in the Global South.
This vision, while aligning with the "Global Health Strategy of Japan," aims to
clarify the role of MHLW within the overall government strategy, taking into account
the changes mentioned above.
