Notably, Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, and other neoplasms are the only three diseases that have little variation across prefectures. OCHA coordinates the global emergency response to save lives and protect people in humanitarian crises. Primary prevention of Alzheimer's disease and dementias is therefore a major policy priority taken by the prefecture governments. Challenges for Future Health System Reform in Japan. Clearly health status progress overall has been hampered by a leveling off of mortalities from cardiovascular diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and other dementias after 2005. There has also been a slow pace of reduction in age-standardised mortality rates from cardiovascular diseases since 2005 in Japan. A comparison in structure, financing and function of the health systems of Japan, the USA, Cuba and China, as well as their main health and social-demographic results, is shown here. Although mortality from other diseases is declining, both the numbers of deaths and age-standardised mortality from Alzheimer's disease and other dementias have increased possibly leading to a slow down of progress in population health since 2005. Age-standardised disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) were reduced by 19♸%: age-standardised YLDs contributed a 3♵% reduction and YLLs contributed a 33♴% reduction. Expenditures for services, drugs, and devices listed in the statutory benefit package constitute about 80 percent of total health expenditures the remaining 20 percent consists of items such as over-the-counter drugs, subsidies given to public hospitals, and health screening (for example, for hypertension and diabetes). In Japan, foreign residents, and particularly new arrivals in the country, experience barriers to health care and show poorer health outcomes when compared to Japanese nationals. 1,2 Citizens and resident noncitizens are required to enroll in an SHIS plan undocumented immigrants and visitors are not covered. Besides the invested resources, a risk-related input dimension was used for risk adjustment. Japan performs well in reducing years of life lost (YLL) over time, probably driven by the reduction in mortality from cardiovascular diseases and neoplasms rather than by reducing the numbers of years living with disability (YLD) between 19. Japan’s statutory health insurance system (SHIS) covers 98.3 percent of the population, while the separate Public Social Assistance Program, for impoverished people, covers the remaining 1.7 percent. The quality and effectiveness of the German and Japanese health care systems were analyzed using an inputoutput model including 12 countries based on health indicators published by the OECD.
