[Overview] According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, more than 80% of public hospitals nationwide are operating at a deficit, and approximately 60% of private hospitals are also in the red. This situation is worsening year by year. Why is the deterioration of hospital management becoming so severe? In particular, improving the management environment of public hospitals, which support regional healthcare in areas where private hospitals are difficult to locate, is an urgent issue in a society with a declining population. Masashi Kawai, Senior Policy Officer and leading expert on population decline issues, will provide a detailed explanation of the current state and challenges of regional healthcare in a society with a declining population, and how to ensure the future healthcare delivery system. ▼Commentator: Masashi Kawai (Senior Policy Officer, Tokyo Foundation) *Profile here: https://www.tkfd.or.jp/experts/detail... ▼Details of this video and related videos here: https://www.tkfd.or.jp/research/detai...
