The new "soft governance approach" and UHC
Meanwhile, we are facing serious geopolitical conflicts, making consensusbuilding between nations increasingly difficult. In such international political
circumstances, the desired outcomes may not be achieved by solely relying on interstate agreements in the health sector. Instead, setting achievable goals and having
sovereign nations, international organizations, civil society, and other stakeholders,
including private sectors, collaborate towards common goals – essentially employing
a “soft governance approach” – is likely to be more effective in advancing global health.
To address global health challenges using a soft governance approach and setting
realistic goals, the primary proposal should be to aim for achieving resilient and
sustainable UHC worldwide. Specifically, this involves expanding health financing in
low- and middle-income countries (LIMCs) and strengthening health systems,
including achieving sustainable health financing through stable domestic financial
resources.
As a part of this effort, Japan is currently working toward establishing a "global hub
function on UHC" with the cooperation of many countries and relevant organizations.
This hub function, which is being developed in collaboration with international
organization such as WHO, the World Bank is expected to truly embody the soft
governance approach in global health. Through this hub function, discussions on
achieving UHC globally and strengthening efforts should be advanced.
Importance of the Indo-Pacific region
In light of the geopolitical situation surrounding our country, Japan places a strong
emphasis on collaboration with Indo-Pacific countries, including those in Asia, in the
health sector. Aging is also progressing in Asian countries, and changes in disease
structures and widening health disparities will become significant challenges. Having
a pioneered the experience of rapid population aging and low fertility, Japan
possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience in the fields of medical care, longterm care, and welfare, and can contribute in various ways, such as but not limited to
transfer of clinical technologies in NCDs.
The Government of Japan has developed the “Basic Principles of the Asian Health
and Wellbeing Initiative,” (approved by the Headquarters for Healthcare Policy
of
Japan on July 29, 2016) and the “Basic Principles of the Africa Health and Wellbeing
Initiative” (approved by the Headquarters for Healthcare Policy of Japan on June 20,
