Japan's health care system has faced major structural pressures due to a chronically weak economy and a rapidly aging demographic cohort. These problems were exacerbated by the long-term economic and public health effects of the devastation from the March 11th tsunami and crisis at the Fukushima reactor.

On Monday, June 27th, to examine Japan's health care system, its future and prospects for reform and the potential impact of innovation, notably in the biotechnology sector, Hudson Institute in cooperation with Amgen, Inc. hosted a special panel discussion in association with the 2011 Bio convention entitled "Health Care and Innovation in Japan."
