GLOBAL HEALTH & HUMAN SECURITY
2007–Present
JCIE’s Global Health and Human Security Program builds international cooperation to tackle many of the world’s most pressing health challenges. Program activities advocate for strong Japanese leadership on global health, mobilize world leaders to help make health systems in low and middle-income countries more resilient, and advance universal health coverage in the world’s poorest countries. Dialogues and studies organized as part of this initiative have played a historic role in elevating global health on Japan’s foreign policy agenda, starting with the 2008 Toyako G8 Summit and continuing to this day.
