Pharma Delegates is a volunteer-led membership association comprised of companies, individual executives, and service providers involved in the Japanese healthcare industry. The group’s purpose is to advance professionalism and fellowship among industry colleagues with common interests, and to provide a forum for discussion and the advancement of insight on current issues in the healthcare environment through a speaker program that features experts from many relevant disciplines.

Change is a constant  in our industry, and our main priority is to highlight and share early insights into regulatory, scientific, economic, and policy issues that affect the healthcare delivery environment in Japan. From our beginning in 1961, Pharma Delegates has never been a lobby group, and we have never pursued a legislative agenda.

Pharma Delegates serves a broad representation of the entire domestic and foreign healthcare industry in Japan. The only purpose for our yearly dues is to enable us to offer a monthly speaker program with a timely topic for our members. Our annual program begins in September each year and continues through June, concluding with our Annual Healthcare Seminar, Gala Dinner and General Meeting, at which time, our financial results are presented and the election of new officers is confirmed.
