The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan (MOFA), the Japan International Cooperation
Agency (JICA), and the Japan Center for International Exchange (JCIE) are organizing—in collaboration with the Japan Institute for Global Health and the Pacific Health Summit—a high-level meeting in Tokyo on Monday, October 24, 2011, to explore the role of innovative partnerships in improving health in Asia Pacific.

As people and goods continue to move across national borders more fluidly, we are finding that infectious diseases also cross borders easily. Similarly, even illnesses or injuries confined to one location can have a profound collective impact on global markets and workforces. In much of Asia Pacific, the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases continues to grow. But we are finding that the region is also increasingly the source of solutions and new resources for health.

With the growing burden of disease has come a growing recognition that no sector can deal with the challenges of global health on its own. Rather, we need cross-sectoral partnerships within and across countries if we are going to have a sustainable positive impact. Keeping that need in mind, we have chosen to focus on lessons that can be learned from existing innovative partnerships for health in the region and beyond and on exploring avenues for replicating and scaling up successful examples. The widening health gap in Asia Pacific and the diversity among countries in the region point to the need to step up efforts to more equitably address global health challenges in the region, but they also highlight the fact that there are a plethora of lessons that can be learned from those experiences in the region that have proven successful. These are lessons that should be of interest not just to countries in Asia Pacific but also to their partners around the world.
