\nz The business leaders, healthcare organizations, and municipal leaders together launched the
\nJapan Health Conference in July 10, 2015, in which the private-sector takes the initiative to
\npromote progressive preventative care and health development among local governments,
\ncompanies, and insurers, with the aim of extending healthy life expectancy and optimizing the
\nhealthcare expenditure.
\nz To develop cross-sectional progressive efforts in local governments, companies, and insurers,
\nthe Conference adopted the \u201c2020 Declaration of Healthy Community and Workplace
\nDevelopment,\u201d which incorporates the key performance indicators toward 2020.
\nz To ensure to achieve these goals,
\n1) A working group will be established for each project, and the Ministry of Health and the
\nMinistry of Economy will cooperate in investigating specific approaches so that any bottle
\nnecks will be eliminated and the cases of good practice can be expanded.
\n2) The \u201cJapan Health Conference Portal Site\u201d will be established to promote competition,
\nfor example by visually describing the project status by area or field of business.
