Recording Date: May 17, 2026 ▼Message Form https://forms.gle/fBrWBvaxFAftSwWo8 ▼Various Social Media Links https://kenkokaigi-link.netlify.app/ ▼LINE Open Chat "Akino Kozo and Everyone's Health Conference" (Listener Community) https://line.me/ti/g2/UryxTAEPP0Z34lh... ▼Episode Introduction "Everyone's Health Conference" is a podcast program presented by Akino Kozo, a doctor and member of parliament, and an MC who knows nothing about politics or health. This episode's theme is the "naphtha shortage problem," which has garnered significant attention online. "Naphtha" is a type of gasoline made from crude oil. Did you know that naphtha is actually the raw material for the "medical gloves" and "IV bags" we use in hospitals, and even for "pharmaceuticals"? What would happen to the medical field if naphtha stopped being imported into Japan? This program clearly explains the cries of medical institutions suffering from soaring prices, Representative Akino's realistic criticism of the slow-moving government, and the two realistic solutions (priority supply and stockpiling) he proposed in the Diet (Budget Committee) to protect lives! This program is packed with hints for living a better life in the age of 100-year lifespans. Please follow and give us a thumbs up! ▼Kozo Akino Graduated from Nagasaki University School of Medicine, obtained medical license in 1992, and PhD (Medicine) in 1996.
