・With the advancing aging population, medical costs continue to rise. The major challenge is how to reduce medical expenses while pursuing the happiness of the elderly.
National medical care expenditures were 43.4 trillion yen in FY2018, an increase of over 8 trillion yen in 10 years.
For the medical expenses of the elderly who are subject to the latter-stage elderly medical care system (principally 75 years and older), 40% are covered, and per person medical expenses by age group are the highest at 9.26 million yen.
