After two and a half years battling the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 50 American and Japanese officials and experts met in person at the 4th U.S.-Japan Global Health Dialogue to identify ways that US-Japan collaboration can be leveraged to advance health security and pandemic preparedness globally. The Dialogue was organized as a meeting in Washington, DC by the U.S. National Academy of Medicine (NAM) and the Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE), in cooperation with the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and it included high-level representatives from the White House and 8 other U.S. and Japanese agencies, the World Bank, the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, and nongovernmental organizations and research institutes.
