This book provides a broad overview of Japan’s health-care industry as a context for its true purpose. That purpose is to describe the historical development over a half century from the 1960s of an international voluntary organization of pharmaceutical and service-company executives comprising both foreign and Japanese members. Known as Pharma Delegates, they gather regularly for forums and fellowship on an informal basis, while also attracting high-level speakers to their monthly luncheons and annual seminars. The book is not about the pharmaceutical industry itself. Rather, it is about the people who make the industry successful through mutual self-help, where even competitors smile at each other.
