The healthcare system in Japan was established as the universal health insurance scheme in 1961,
according to which citizens can access medical services for a relatively low co-payment. Over the last
decades, the rapidly-growing aging population combined with the decrease in the working population
have caused financial difficulty. These also resulted in structural reform in healthcare, due to higher
prevalence of chronic and age-related conditions.
