| Résumé : | Japan, the world’s third-largest economy, with a corresponding high standard of living, level of development, safety and stability, has made a large number of noticeable successes in health since its universal health insurance system was founded in 1961. This includes the full implementation of universal insurance coverage, achieving the world’s highest life expectancy and control and eradication of common infectious diseases. In addition, transport accident deaths has decreased substantially in the past 50 years. Despite these achievements, the country faces many challenges including a negative population growth with low fertility rate, an ageing population, shrinking economy and increasing unemployment rate. Increasing NCD related disease burden and degenerative diseases especially in recent decades along with population ageing places a strain on the national health system in many aspects especially in terms of service delivery and financing. |
