Strengthening Bilateral Cooperation Through the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare Liaison to the US Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response.
Beginning in 2016, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) began stationing liaisons within the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response to strengthen cooperation on bilateral health security engagement and collaboration. Notable accomplishments include the establishment of the US-Japan Health Security Committee and collaborations between the US-Japan Disaster Medical Assistance Team on mass event responses, such as the repatriation of American citizens from the Diamond Princess in February 2020 and the COVID-19 response. Japan has also embedded liaisons at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to advance collaboration on public health. In 2021, with COVID-19 highlighting the importance of collaboration on pandemic preparedness, MHLW established a liaison program with the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. These liaisons with HHS agencies have paid dividends to health security collaboration, particularly by enabling greater connections between technical experts in MHLW and HHS.
期刊介绍:
Health Security is a peer-reviewed journal providing research and essential guidance for the protection of people’s health before and after epidemics or disasters and for ensuring that communities are resilient to major challenges. The Journal explores the issues posed by disease outbreaks and epidemics; natural disasters; biological, chemical, and nuclear accidents or deliberate threats; foodborne outbreaks; and other health emergencies. It offers important insight into how to develop the systems needed to meet these challenges. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Health Security covers research, innovations, methods, challenges, and ethical and legal dilemmas facing scientific, military, and health organizations. The Journal is a key resource for practitioners in these fields, policymakers, scientific experts, and government officials.
