Health needs to take the lead: medicine is divided into preventive medicine and therapeutic medicine. With the improvement of modern people's attention to their own health, preventive medicine has attracted much attention. This is the most effective way to treat this disease. Such as diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other so-called lifestyle diseases, as well as the number one killer of human health-cancer, have certain potential, and patients themselves will not feel uncomfortable if they do not develop to a certain extent. However, when obvious symptoms appear, the authoritative treatment opportunity is often missed, and it is too late.
Japan attaches great importance to preventive medicine: in Japan, it attaches great importance to preventive medicine, that is, to find out the lesions that have appeared or may appear as soon as possible and eliminate them in the bud, such as colorectal cancer. If found early, it can almost be cured. This can not only alleviate the pain of patients, but also reduce the economic burden of society. At present, everyone agrees that Japan is a leading country in preventive medicine in the world, with many indicators leading the world.
Japan is a healthy country: the average life expectancy of its citizens is one of the highest in the world, and it is recognized as a healthy country in the world. The per capita ownership rate of high-end medical equipment such as CT and MRI in Japan ranks among the top in the world, with 96 CT equipment per 6.5438+0.000 population, 26 in the United States and 654.38+0.7 in Germany. The ownership rate of MRI is 40 per 6.5438+00,000 population, 28 in the United States and only 7 in Germany. Japanese citizens receive medical consultation as many as 14 times a year, ranking first in the world. The rising awareness of national health is also constantly promoting the progress of medical technology and the improvement of medical system, thus making the survival rate of patients with cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and diabetes in Japan among the top in the world.
Japan's precision physical examination is in the forefront of the world: in the field of preventive medicine, the representative work is Japan's precision physical examination. Precision inspection is called NingenDock in Japan. Through CT, MRI, ultrasound and other precision instruments, we can check blood pressure, brain, heart, lung, stomach, liver, intestine, diabetes, thyroid, prostate, uterus, breast, ovary and other body parts, and also conduct in-depth cancer screening.
Japan's cancer survival rate is high: the 5-year survival rate is one of the important indicators to investigate the effect of cancer treatment internationally. The 5-year survival rate of Japanese cancer patients is 68%, while that of China is only about 25%. According to the data of "20 17 National Cancer Registry", there are about 3.68 million new tumor patients in China every year, about 6 million patients are receiving treatment, and about10.6 million people die of cancer every year. One in every 7-8 people eventually dies of cancer. About 10000 people are diagnosed with cancer every day in China; Seven people are diagnosed with cancer every minute! After the age of 30, the incidence rate rises rapidly, reaching its peak at the age of 80; When the life expectancy reaches 85 years, the cumulative risk of cancer is as high as 36%, especially lung cancer, gastric cancer, esophageal cancer, liver cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and thyroid cancer. The data is very shocking!
Cancer was discovered late in China: however, 80% of patients in China had entered the middle and late stage when cancer was discovered, which is the primary reason why the five-year survival rate of cancer patients in China is much lower than that in Japan. As one of the countries with a long population in the world, Japanese citizens have received regular physical examinations twice a year since they were students, which is called "regular health diagnosis". So far, Japan has established a nationwide cancer screening system and formed a relatively sound industry standard, so that most cancers can be found early.
Japan has geographical advantages: the time difference between China and Japan is only 1 hour, the flight time is only 2-3 hours, the entry procedures are relatively simple, and the air ticket price is very low. Moreover, Japanese culture and eating habits are similar to those of China, so newcomers to China won't feel too strange, the air quality is good, and the food is not threatening, which is very reliable. Compared with going to Europe and America, Japan has obvious geographical advantages, both for physical examination and sightseeing.
Japan has many world-leading enterprises in the field of medical and health care. In recent years, the Japanese government has also vigorously promoted medical tourism. After opening a "personal tourist visa" to China, Japanese tourists were also given a "medical visa" to encourage them to go to China for treatment and physical examination. The validity period of the visa can be up to three years, and each stay can be up to half a year. If it is determined that each stay does not exceed 90 days, you can also go back and forth at will within the validity period. Japan may become a choice destination for high-end people and middle class who care about life and health to go abroad for medical examination or medical treatment.
