Course Description

We are globally at a tipping point in terms of healthcare provision, and there is general acceptance by all stakeholders of the need to change. New entrants are entering into the burgeoning healthcare sector, offering new insights and alternate business models. To materially transform the industry will demand strong leadership amongst multiple constituencies (including industry, government, academic and medical communities), and alignment across a number of dimensions that they themselves will change –including regulations; pricing; capital investment; new skill development and training. With Japan’s aged society there is a local imperative to act that can empower Japanese firms to become increasingly competitive on a global stage. With such a local focus to global problems improved international competiveness will improve inward investment in Japan.
There are a number of global mega-trends transforming healthcare that cannot be ignored: Globalization; Consumerism; Aging and Obese populations; Chronic Diseases that are more expensive to treat; and New medical technologies and treatments
In this year’s course, we will invite public and private sector leaders and key opinion leaders to provide their perspectives and insights at a pivotal time of rapid and transformational change across the medical industry.
