The business leaders, healthcare organizations, and municipal leaders together launched the Japan Health Conference in July 10, 2015, in which the private-sector takes the initiative to promote progressive preventative care and health development among local governments, companies, and insurers, with the aim of extending healthy life expectancy and optimizing the healthcare expenditure.To develop cross-sectional progressive efforts in local governments, companies, and insurers, the Conference adopted the “2020 Declaration of Healthy Community and Workplace Development,” which incorporates the key performance indicators toward 2020.To ensure to achieve these goals,
1) A working group will be established for each project, and the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Economy will cooperate in investigating specific approaches so that any bottle necks will be eliminated and the cases of good practice can be expanded.
2) The “Japan Health Conference Portal Site” will be established to promote competition, for example by visually describing the project status by area or field of business.

Fourth term re-elected as the JMA President2018.6-2020.6
Form Presidential Policy Address
I have decided to undertake my fourth term because I have a strong desire for Japan's healthcare system, which was built upon integration of the universal health insurance coverage and the medical care provision systems centered on Kakaritsuke Physicians (primary care physicians), to improve, rising to an even higher level through carefully listening to the voices of individual members who serve as the backbone of community medicine.
Shinzo Abe, Prime Minister, Japan
