 As the environment surrounding society changes at a dizzying pace, we must think about the importance of our own "inochi" and the future, the way each of us wants to live, and accelerate innovation in health and medicine from Osaka and Kansai.

The global pandemic has brought diversity and a new way of life into our world, and has caused us to change the way we live.

The "Osaka-Kansai International Medical Contribution Platform" is an international medical contribution project to promote Osaka/Kansai medical care to the world on the occasion of the 2025 Osaka/Kansai Expo, which will be held under the theme of "inochi," and to provide medical services to foreign visitors and patients who desire medical care in Osaka/Kansai, as part of Osaka's goal of becoming a "Healthy Future City Osaka.

We will work with the cooperation of the government, the medical industry, the business community, local governments, and other related parties to make this platform a place for medical inbound promotion in Osaka and the Kansai region for various stakeholders, including medical institutions, medical travel support companies, and medical interpreters.
We appreciate your understanding and support.

Osaka-Kansai International Medical Contribution Platform

 We will provide information on medical institutions in Osaka/Kansai that offer advanced medical care, such as heavy particle therapy and regenerative medicine, as well as information on private hospitals and clinics with luxurious facilities, and stakeholders who support foreigners seeking medical care in Osaka/Kansai.
Our goal is to increase awareness of medical services in the Osaka/Kansai area that foreign travelers can use with confidence.

The Osaka Convention & Visitors Bureau will provide exciting information on top-notch medical services, as well as a plethora of tourism content for affluent visitors! This will allow them to fully immerse themselves in the local food and culture during their stay in Osaka/Kansai.
Furthermore, Medical Excellence Japan (MEJ), a general incorporated association responsible for Japan's medical inbound policy, will collaborate to promote the registration of medical institutions, medical travel support companies, and medical interpreters.
