Activities
We are pleased to introduce the activities of the Japan Patient Support Foundation. Please see the descriptions below.
Introduction of Patient Support Organizations & Support for Their Websites
“What patients trust most are the words of other patients who share the same disease. What those caring for patients trust most are the words of others caring for patients with the same disease. That is why those who wish to meet others going through the same experiences—patients and their families—deserve support.”
To fulfill that wish, the Kanshin Hiroba project was launched. No matter how advanced medical technology becomes, or how excellent new medicines are developed, there was still a gap: connecting heart to heart between patients. We provide support to bridge that gap.
By registering as a member, you can efficiently collect information tailored to your disease or interests. You can “like” or “favorite” content you’re interested in, and follow doctors, patient groups, or related organizations, so as to view useful, up-to-date information from physicians, pharmaceutical companies, patient associations, and related bodies.
Operation of Websites Useful for Patients
On Lysosome Disease Plaza, we offer interviews with physicians, columns, and other informational content that patients seek.
