A press conference was held in Tokyo on July 25th (Tue.) announcing the plans to launch “Japan Health,” an international exhibition for medical devices and health care. Speakers at the press conference included Dr. Yoshiki Sawa, Director of Osaka Police Hospital and Specially Appointed Professor at Osaka University, who initiated the “Japan Health” exhibition, and representatives from the Cabinet Secretariat, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Ministry of Economy, Trade and industry, Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, and the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau, who will be supporting the exhibition.
Large-scale events for medical devices are held every year in various countries around the world, providing a valuable stage that facilitates companies from different countries in entering the market and forming alliances, and encouraging innovation. By hosting a large-scale international event like “Japan Health” in Japan and promoting Japan’s advanced technology and medical services to the rest of the world, it is hoped that this will stimulate the Japanese medical and health-care industries overall, encouraging competitiveness and innovation, and contribute to medical institutions, patients, and societies around the world.
As it ties in with the themes of life and co-creation that are central to EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, the “Japan Health” exhibition will be held as an event related to the exposition. “Japan Health” will also be held annually from 2026 onwards as a legacy of the EXPO.
At the press conference, Dr. Sawa expressed the opinion that if the “Japan Health” exhibition becomes a place that creates business opportunities, not only for medical devices but also for fields such as regenerative medicine, then it will be a significant development for Japan. Representatives from the Cabinet Secretariat, Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, and the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau, who will be supporting the exhibition, spoke about the current situation regarding health care and medical devices in Japan, their hopes for “Japan Health,” and expressed that there will be a unified national effort to prepare for the exhibition.
