Healthcare in the Age of Multicultural Coexistence

In recent years, Asia has seen an increase in international migration due to the declining birthrate and aging population, the need to secure a labor force, and changes in global and national political, economic, and social situations. Under these circumstances, the health and access to healthcare for immigrants has become a key issue in considering the sustainability of multicultural societies. This international seminar will share the latest research findings focusing on immigrant health in four Asian countries and regions (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Thailand, and Japan) and the United States. Through research presentations and discussions, we will also explore the current situation and implications for healthcare policy. This international seminar aims to realize a better healthcare system for both Japanese and foreign residents in Japan. We sincerely welcome everyone interested in participating in a forum for collaboration to consider healthcare that is flexible and tolerant of diverse needs.
