Abstract in English:
2035 Japan brings growing health care needs, shifting social environments and values, increasing inequity, and globalization that require a health care system reformed to reflect shared vision and values. Relying on financial adjustments to maintain the current system will no longer suffice.
Based on the recommendations presented here, the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare should construct implementation means, engage the public in discussion, and take steadfast action on immediately feasible measures.
