This publication, authored by Simone Bosch under the guidance of the World Health Organization, provides a comprehensive overview of Japan's legal framework for healthcare access, focusing on Universal Health Coverage (UHC). It examines the various insurance systems such as National Health Insurance and Employees’ Health Insurance, detailing eligibility criteria based on age, employment status, and residency. The text also explores the financial mechanisms like co-payment rates and out-of-pocket thresholds designed to prevent financial hardship. Special attention is given to vulnerable populations, including the elderly, low-income individuals, and those with chronic illnesses, who benefit from reduced co-insurance rates. The document is intended for policymakers, healthcare professionals, and researchers interested in health system governance and financing in Japan.

Le système de santé français est confronté à une crise multiforme : contraintes financières sans précédent, spécialisation et pression à la productivité des équipes… À cette approche quantitative s'ajoutent les exigences croissantes des patients en matière de qualité et de sécurité des soins et une montée en puissance des aspirations à plus de démocratie sanitaire. Tels sont les défis auxquels doit faire face l'offre de soins. Loin des discours incantatoires ou d'une vision « hors-sol » du sujet, médecins, travailleurs sociaux, économistes de la santé, directeurs d'hôpital, personnalités de la santé publique et de l'éthique et chercheurs en sciences sociales livrent leur réflexion et explorent une nouvelle voie pour tenter de relever ces défis : l'humain. Ils proposent des solutions concrètes tirées des expériences de terrain de professionnels œuvrant auprès des plus démunis dans les permanences d'accès aux soins de santé (PASS). Dans ces dispositifs, l'approche du soin s'adapte aux situations complexes et se révèle à la fois qualitative, performante et complémentaire du soin technique et spécialisé. À destination des professionnels et de toute personne intéressée par l'avenir de notre système de santé, ce manifeste rappelle que le soin ne peut être complet et efficace que s'il associe une composante humaine aux savoirs et à la technique. Plus qu'un slogan consensuel, Soigner (l')humain est une clé de développement de notre système de santé afin de penser le juste soin au juste coût.
