Global Daigaku.com Recommended Seminars

The Economist Conferences Presents
  • Fourth Roundtable on Healthcare Reform in Japan
    Date: February 10, 2004
    Venue: Hotel Okura, Tokyo

    Financial near-crisis has spurred major adjustments to patient co-payments, the long-awaited Japanese version of Drug Related Groups on the pharmaceutical payment-side has now been instituted on a trial basis, and plans are underway for an even more fundamental adjustment in this area in April 2004. And in the delivery of healthcare, intense debate is underway over deregulation, privatisation, and increased accountability in the better management of hospitals, with battle-lines drawn over proponents and critics of the status quo.

    With potential changes in the political landscape, however, and a concerted backlash to the scope of the reform agenda, there is also danger that this momentum could be derailed, much to the detriment of the increasingly-involved – and concerned – Japanese public.
