Koji Fujimoto from the Headquarters of Healthcare Policy said the initiative targets future collaboration between Japan and other Asian countries, including Vietnam, in issues related to health care for the elderly. 

Participants to the meeting shared experience in health care for the elderly in Asian countries such as Vietnam, China, the Philippines and Malaysia. 

Originally started in May 2016 under the Headquarters for Health Policy, the initiative aims to support Asian aging societies by providing Japanese knowledge and expertise on nursing care and social welfare systems.

It also creates links between governments, enterprises, and associations to develop new business opportunities. 

Japan’s health care services providers for the elderly are interested in expanding their activities in Vietnam to meet the increasing demand in the market which is at the forefront of super-aging society.
