Forum on Japan-UK Medical and Healthcare Cooperation Held at Oxford University
Published
A forum discussing medical care and healthcare between Japan and the United Kingdom was held at Oxford University in England. This information was reported in a business brief from JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization).
At the meeting, discussions were held on health promotion that considers people, society, and the environment as a single system. The idea is that health is deeply connected not only to the individual body but also to society and the surrounding environment.
Participants also discussed sustainable healthcare systems. As medical costs and the number of people requiring care continue to rise, how to keep healthcare systems going over the long term is an important challenge for many countries.
Furthermore, cancer treatment and regenerative medicine were also debated. Regenerative medicine refers to medical care that uses the power of cells to restore damaged tissues and organs in the body.
The forum became a venue for Japan and the United Kingdom to share information and experience in the fields of medicine and healthcare. Health and medical care are themes that affect the lives of people in both countries, and how exchanges and cooperation progress in the future is drawing attention.
