The purpose of the Nigeria Joint Trade Mission to South Korea and Japan is to introduce and expose Nigeria medical industries to the rapidly expanding and innovative healthcare sectors in Korea and Japan, and to assist Nigeria medical industries in pursuing opportunities in Korea, Japan and Asia at large.
The healthcare system in Korea and Japan is considered to be of a comprehensive form, with a public health service funded by the government and an expanding private health care and medical service. Individuals who are resident in Korea and Japan for at least one year are entitled to receive health care through the public healthcare system managed by the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) and government respectively.
In 1976, Korea adopted a policy that universal health coverage would be achieved by 1989. Since 1988, all Korean citizens have had health coverage, via private-sector initiatives and medical insurance societies
South Korea's single-payer health system ranks 19th overall in the World Index of Healthcare Innovation, with a score of 46.47. Korea performs especially well at keeping health care spending low, at 8.1% of GDP. Its debt-to-GDP ratio of 39.5% is excellent.
while, Health care in Japan is, generally speaking, provided free for Japanese citizens, expatriates, and foreigners. Medical treatment in Japan is provided through universal health care. This system is available to all citizens, as well as non-Japanese citizens staying in Japan for more than a year.
As an important element of national security, medical and healthcare system not only functions to provide adequate and timely medical care but also track, monitor, and control disease outbreak. The Nigerian healthcare has suffered several down-falls. Despite Nigerian's strategic position in Africa, the country is greatly undeserved in the healthcare sphere. Health facilities (health centers, personnel, and medical equipment) are inadequate in this country, especially in rural areas. While various reforms have been put forward by the Nigerian government to address the wide ranging issues in the health care system, they are yet to be implemented at the state and local government area levels.
The Nigeria Joint Trade Mission to South Korea and Japan will be a platform to readdress the healthcare service impediments. However, in doing so it will focus on innovative health and medical services, including advanced techniques and instrumentation, as well as the translation of medical research to health outcomes. Relevant areas of interest include life science, practice based research, advanced clinical practice, workforce training and regional delivery of health services.
The Nigeria Joint Trade Mission to South Korea and Japan is targeting representatives from medical industries, medical research organizations, private sector, institutions and the government. The mission will include conferences, tailored meetings (B2B, B2C) and networking events. Through these activities, the trade mission represents a valuable opportunity for delegates to network and form partnership.
The Nigeria Joint Trade Mission to South Korea and Japan is powered by in conjunction with Trade Nigeria Globe Chamber of Commerce and Industry and a host of others.
