Description
Japan’s health system is distinctly characterized by universal health insurance, which provides excellent health outcomes at a relatively low cost with equity (Ikegami N et al., 2011; Murray CJL, 2011). By law, all residents of Japan (including foreign nationals with a residence card) are enrolled in a health insurance programme.
There are two main types of health insurance in Japan – the Employees’ Health Insurance System and National Health Insurance (NHI) (previously called Community Health Insurance). The Employees’ Health Insurance System is provided to employed workers (company employees) and their dependents, while NHI is designed for self and unemployed people (hence those not eligible to be members of Employees’ Health Insurance) and is run by municipal governments (i.e., cities, towns and villages).
