ABSTRACT

The 30th Anniversary Symposium benefited from the Takemi Program’s long-standing partnership with the Japan Medical Association. The Symposium and the subsequent production of this book received financial support from the Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association, the China Medical Board, and the Chiang Mai University Faculty of Nursing, with additional contributions from the Japan-Based Executive Committee of PhRMA, the Japan Medical Devices Manufacturers, and the Japan Federation of Medical Devices Associations. These generous financial contributions made the Symposium and this book possible. We deeply appreciate the support and the opportunities it created.
