Created in 2015 by Health and Global Policy Institute (HGPI), Japan Health Policy NOW (JHPN) is the only centralized platform in the world on Japanese health policy available in both Japanese and English.  This is due in part to cooperation with Global Health Innovation Policy Program (GHIPP) at the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) . All of HGPI’s projects, including JHPN, are supported by our Supporting Members, Corporate Members, and general donors. Our work is only possible thanks to our generous sponsors and supporters.

As global attention turns to Japan, one of the world’s fastest ageing countries, there is increasing interest in Japanese health policy and a growing need to share information on Japan’s health policy with the world.

JHPN is committed to addressing this need by delivering:
・Factual information about the Japanese health system
・Commentary on the recent health policy agenda
・Resources for those who want to learn more about Japanese health policy

Further details are can be found on the JHPN’s website: www.Japanhpn.org

All of HGPI’s projects, including JHPN, are supported by our Supporting Members, Corporate Members, and general donors. For more information about how you can contribute to HGPI’s work, please see this page.

We have received financial support from The National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) for the translation to English.

JHPN content is created at Health and Global Policy Institute by a team of people committed to sharing factual and up-to-date information on Japanese health policy with the world.
