Research on Social and Health Equity Reform
People’s health is affected by social factors surrounding them (social determinants of health/ Social Determinants of Health: SDH).We study and research the creation of healthy communities, systems, and human resources that can respond to such factors through close collaboration among health, medical care, nursing care, welfare, and local communities.
In particular, we aim to guarantee the health rights of people who have
– psychosocial barriers such as poverty, isolation, and disability
– physical barriers such as remote areas and islands
to medical care.
As a researcher, I aim to contribute to social change as much as possible by listening to the people concerned, supporters in the field, and policy makers, and by making it my motto not to complete my research as a researcher alone.People’s health is affected by social factors surrounding them (social determinants of health/ Social Determinants of Health: SDH).We study and research the creation of healthy communities, systems, and human resources that can respond to such factors through close collaboration among health, medical care, nursing care, welfare, and local communities.
