CEO's Message
Japanese healthcare, supported by the universal health insurance system, has enabled its citizens to enjoy high-quality medical care at a low cost. Moreover, Japan, a pioneer in experiencing an aging population and declining birthrate, has developed a unique form of care through its comprehensive long-term care insurance system, enhancing the welfare of its citizens. This healthcare and nursing care, backed by the Japanese spirit of compassion and altruism, has evolved in a distinctly Japanese manner.
Healthcare in Asia, primarily driven by medical professionals trained in the West and their own countries, operates differently from Japan. Some countries in Asia have developed their healthcare systems to a level equal to or surpassing Japan's, contributing significantly to their citizens' health management.
Visiting several countries in ASEAN, one often feels a deep respect and trust in the disciplined and compassionate nature of Japanese medical and nursing care. There is a genuine demand for the meticulous and strengths-based approach of Japanese healthcare and nursing care. However, due to its history as an economically self-sufficient island nation and language barriers, Japan has historically overlooked its close neighbor, ASEAN.
On the other hand, due to rapid aging, Japan faces a projected shortage of one million healthcare and nursing care workers by 2040. Already, many foreign professionals are working in nursing care, and some hospitals employ foreign nurses to address shortages. It is clear that Japan's healthcare and nursing care systems cannot be sustained without foreign talent.
We, at Healthcare Asia, believe in fostering medical and nursing care exchange with ASEAN to contribute our strengths and secure foreign talent to support Japan's healthcare system. Although many Japanese medical professionals already work abroad, Healthcare Asia aims to play a significant role in strengthening ties with ASEAN. We hope to become a bridge in medical and nursing care between ASEAN and Japan, contributing to society. We look forward to the participation of many healthcare professionals, including doctors, nurses, allied health professionals, and nursing care workers.
