The "1st Nikkei Asia-Africa Medical Innovation Consortium (AMIC) NTD Subcommittee" was held jointly by the Nihon Keizai Shimbun and the Neglected Tropical Diseases Alliance (JAGntd).
At the first subcommittee meeting, we invited people from industry, government, academia and the private sector who are involved in NTDs countermeasures to talk about issues and problems related to NTDs countermeasures from their respective standpoints. While exploring where the concerns of industry, government, academia and the private sector are, fostering a common understanding of the issues and roles of the subcommittee in formulating a concrete action plan, and an opportunity for subsequent discussion development. There was a lot of discussion about becoming.
In the future, we will continue to consider what the subcommittee can do, taking into account the trends of international conferences.
