“The Quality of Life Foundation Support Council of International Activities for General Medical Research has been conducting activities centred on the exchange of medical personnel in collaboration with embassies of various countries, aimed at advancing international medical care.

Your contributions support our initiatives, striving for a future where people worldwide can access the best medical care possible.

Last year, upon request from the Republic of Zambia for infectious disease control measures, a Zambian doctor was invited to participate in the programme at the Centre for International Infectious Diseases at the National Institute for Global Health and Medical Research and the International Joint Research Institute for Zoonosis Control at Hokkaido University, both of which have experience in this field.

This year, in response to a request from the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Japan, a doctor from the University of Tokyo Hospital was dispatched to Cuba. During his visit, he delivered lectures at hospitals, provided technical support, and discussed treatment policies with local doctors.

Furthermore, in November 2024, a doctor from the Republic of Serbia is scheduled to be invited to Japan to participate the programme at the University of Tokyo Graduate School of Medicine, Department of Hepatobiliary and Pancreatic Surgery, and Department of Artificial Organs and Transplantation Surgery. The results will be presented in the Charity Gala programme.

Proceeds from this year’s Charity Gala 2024 will fund the invitation of a doctor from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.

We will continue to collaborate with the embassies of various countries and exert our utmost efforts to contribute to the advancement of international healthcare through this project. Your continued understanding and support would be greatly appreciated.”
