Throughout 2025, we continued to engage in medical exchanges with partners in Vietnam, Thailand, India, China, and beyond. Toward the end of the year, we coordinated a visit to Japan by senior leaders from 108 Military Central Hospital, one of Vietnam’s leading medical institutions. Vice President and Director of the Education Center visited the National Cancer Center, the National Center for Global Health and Medicine, The University of Tokyo Hospital, and Keio University Hospital to exchange views on clinical practice and medical education. These face-to-face exchanges helped foster mutual understanding of healthcare systems and opened conversations about future professional exchange and training initiatives. We are sincerely grateful to our partner Japanese healthcare professionals and member companies who made these efforts possible. We look forward to continuing our work to support international collaboration in healthcare in 2026! #MedicalExcellenceJAPAN #MEJ #AdvancingGlobalHealthTogether #GlobalHealth #Vietnam #ThankYou

As part of MEJ’s mission to strengthen international collaboration in healthcare, we create opportunities for overseas medical leaders to engage directly with Japan’s advanced clinical practices and technologies. In early December, MEJ welcomed senior executives from Thailand’s BDMS Group, including Dr. Matinee Maipang, MD (หมอเม) and Dr. Thiravud Khuhaprema, for a focused visit to the Fujita Health University Haneda Clinic and the Sysmex Haneda Showroom. During the program, the delegation was introduced to the latest rehabilitation technologies, received briefings from leading clinical and industry experts, and exchanged views on future collaboration opportunities, most notably the potential application of the state-of-the-art hinotori surgical robot system in Thailand. 🌐 About Medical Excellence JAPAN (MEJ) Founded in 2013, MEJ plays a central role in fostering international collaboration in healthcare as part of Japan’s growth strategy.

Through partnerships with medical institutions in Japan and overseas, MEJ facilitates tailored exchanges between overseas medical professionals and Japan International Hospitals (JIH) to meet the specific needs of each partner. Most recently, we welcomed the CEO of a rapidly growing private hospital in Vietnam to Japan and arranged visits to two JIHs with distinguished records in advanced medical care: University of Tsukuba Hospital and Central Japan International Medical Center. We are confident that exchanges such as these will help accelerate the development of higher-quality healthcare services for patients across the Asia-Pacific region. 🌐 About Medical Excellence JAPAN (MEJ) Founded in 2013, MEJ plays a central role in fostering international collaboration in healthcare as part of Japan’s growth strategy.

In disaster and emergency medicine, having reliable clinical information as soon as a medical team arrives is crucial. Japanese technology supporting this vital first response is now gaining attention in Vietnam. Last week in Hanoi, KONICA MINOLTA, INC. introduced its mobile ultrasound at the 108 Military Central Hospital’s Vietnam-Japan Medical Cooperation Center. MEJ initiated the collaboration, connecting the hospital and the company to explore how Japanese medical technology can be effectively applied in Vietnam, where natural disasters are increasing. With frequent typhoons, floods, and landslides, 108 Hospital plays a key role in deploying medical teams to affected areas. Participants valued the device’s portability in low-power settings and its ability to support rapid on-site triage. As Japanese technologies support life-saving work across borders, MEJ will continue fostering trusted international healthcare partnerships. 🌐 About Medical Excellence JAPAN (MEJ) Founded in 2013, MEJ plays a central role in fostering international collaboration in healthcare as part of Japan’s growth strategy.
