I think the Japanese healthcare system is a good model for other countries. Let me explain why. Not only people, but also the government take healthcare very seriously. Japan provides healthcare for all residents through a mandatory insurance system. Japan’s healthcare coverage through this system is comprehensive, offers universal coverage and is easily accessible for everyone. Japan’s focus on preventative care and early intervention also contributes to high life expectancy and low infant mortality rates. Additionally, Japan’s healthcare system also regulates fees and medicine prices to make sure medicine is more accessible than other developed nations.
Although some parts of Japanese healthcare may depend on culture, I think Japan’s model can be adapted to work with different countries and cultures as well.
