Despite its prolonged economic troubles in recent years, Japan remains the
world' s second largest medical market, after the USA. Japan' s short-term
economic outlook continues to recover steadily. A rapidly ageing population
has burdened the healthcare system both in terms of funding and facilities and
is of great concern for the Japanese government. As a result, payments made by
the government to medical institutions have been slashed (by record levels in
2006) in an attempt to ease national medical spending.
Japan has some of the best vital statistics in the world, including the lowest
infant mortality rates and highest adult life expectancies. The growing number
of patients requiring long-term care and the advent of the elderly health
insurance system offers great potential within the market.
The government is attempting to reform the notoriously lengthy period of
healthcare product approval with the creation of a new organisation overseeing
both medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Many Western medical procedures such
as transplants are viewed with scepticism, although ethical differences have
gradually been overlooked due to the increasing lack of Japanese alternatives.
