[SY2-05] Building primary care in a changing East Asia – a Project on Primary Care System Profiles from the East Asian Primary Care Research Network

Thu. May 16, 2019 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM Room 5 (1F Room D)

Organizer: Takuya Aoki(Kyoto University, Japan)
Chair: Machiko Inoue(Hamamatsu University School of Medicine, Japan)

Health systems based on primary care have been shown to achieve better health outcomes, equity, and costs. Therefore, many countries have been making efforts through primary care reforms to strengthen the care delivery. Especially in Europe and North America, efforts of exchange of experiences and health service researches through international collaboration have been active for the improvement of primary care quality. In East Asia, because such efforts have been poor, we have established the East Asian Primary Care Research Network (EAPCRN) at WONCA World 2018 Seoul. In this symposium, we will aim to share the information on trends in each country at key characteristics of the primary care system such as primary care governance, economic conditions of primary care, primary care workforce development, and primary care process. Furthermore, we will discuss research themes that are currently being addressed or important in the future based on the situations of each country. We expect this symposium can be a stepping stone to the success of the EAPCRN.
